I just successfully used the F17-Alpha DVD to do an install, and it went very smoothly. Of course, it was a simple install; minimal desktop, gave it a complete small HD, wired ethernet. I customize extensively, so I get the base in place, make it livable from the previous version, then expand it. Only two things of note: When it was booting, there were a lot of warnings at the start of the boot process about deprecated commands. And it took a long time for sshd and sendmail. Not sure why; timeouts? I used the custom layout manager, and on the screen where the disks are divided between those to be preserved and those to be overwritten, the arrows didn't work, they were grayed out. So I couldn't tell it to ignore disks. This is a great idea if you can get it working. The main fear factor is overwriting something unintentionally, and this would diminish that. It didn't matter because on the next page, partition layout, I just used the disk I intended. I liked that grub2 automatically put in boot stanzas for my existing Fedora installs - nice touch. Overall assessment - a smooth and positive experience. Thanks to all! -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
