We want to catch all the races. Can you > reliably reproduce it by acting quickly? No. It seems the large button areas on the first screen are greyed out until the initial checks have been performed. Which makes reproduciblity less easy, because the very first screen is the language selection one must leave with a first mouse-click, and perhaps mouse-clicks don't matter at all. ;-) I just described what I did when I tried to install from USB after the unsuccessful attemps from hard-disk. Maybe it crashes independent of the user activity, but dependent only on how it performs the early checks? I don't feel like testing this too often. The developers won't spend time on it either if they cannot reproduce it easily. The installer seems to be multi-threaded, and if it's racy indeed, eventually someone will run into the same crash. Apparently, that has not happened during pre-release testing of the Beta. -- Fedora release 18 (Spherical Cow) - Linux 3.6.7-5.fc18.x86_64 loadavg: 0.08 0.22 0.23 -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
