Netinstall, minimal. Can now boot into multiuser mode, my only It's worth pointing out that if you do a netinstall, the only testing that's really relevant to the release validation process is the installation process itself and things directly under its control. What actually gets _installed_ when you do a netinst of TC2 is not in any real sense 'TC2'. It's 'whatever happens to be in the repositories netinst uses at the time you install'. If you did a netinst of TC1, or Alpha even, right now you'd get the same package set as if you did a netinst of Beta TC2. The only thing that would be different between the two is _the installation process itself_ (and other stuff it controls, like the bootloader configuration of the installed system). They all pull from the same repos for the installed system. So the reason your installed system behaved better with this test isn't so much changes in TC2 exactly as it is changes in the repos (probably you got the fixed systemd and selinux-policy that showed up today). > nitpick is that time defaults to local and there doesn't seem a way to > choose during installation--Ubuntu does the same thing, though they choose > to set it to UTC. (That is, no way to choose during install with Ubuntu). I think it's supposed to default to UTC, but I'm not 100% sure. Unless you did a UEFI install? I read some rumblings that in the UEFI spec, system clock is _required_ to run on local time, not UTC. Which seems batshit crazy, but hey. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | identi.ca: adamwfedora http://www.happyassassin.net -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
