And now, the Fedora Project presents....
We're tired, we're droopy
We're all a little loopy
A Fedora Core Test Release
Is invading your PC!
New features - interesting!
The code could use some testing
That's why we are requesting
new bug reports quickly!
On our ftp site is the place where you will see
The stuff that we've been working on since 1993!
We're tired, we're droopy
We're all a little loopy
It's a Fedora Core Test Release
Come and join the fun!
(And now our song is done.)
Yes, it's an update of SEVERN, the Fedora Core test release.
As always, test releases are not intended for use on production
environments. Use of test releases in production environments could
lead to disastrous results, such as spontaneous musical theatre
from your engineers. Be afraid.
Problems with SEVERN should be reported via bugzilla, at:
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/
Please report bugs against 'Fedora Core', release 'test2'.
Technical note: There are some issues with the SMP kernel; on
SMP machines after installation, you may need to boot the
uniprocessor kernel for stability. We'll have a fixed kernel
in the next day or three; please update as soon as one
is available.
For more information on just what the Fedora Project and
Fedora Core is, please see:
http://fedora.redhat.com/
