> As promised, we have pushed FC6 prerelease images to the trackers: > http://torrent.fedoraproject.org/ In general, it is better to use the rescue CD instead of these FC6Pre torrents. First, the rescue CD is only 85 to 105 MB (instead of 3.5 to 4.2 GB), contains the _same_ anaconda functionality, and is updated daily. Today's rawhide updated a couple dozen packages already. If you use the rescue CD then you [are forced to] get those updates via HTTP or FTP. Using the torrent image requires initiative to get those updates, and you get them via the network anyway. Second, the rescue CD is available from many mirrors (look in core/development/$ARCH/iso/ ) instead of just one seed. Both 12 hours ago and now, the ppc torrent has 1 seed, 0 peers, and a download rate of less than 6KB/s. Third, testing the rescue CD is more important than testing the install media. The rescue CD has a history of being the forgotten stepchild, and has often had serious bugs (even showstoppers and data corruption), yet _every_ installation is a potential user of the rescue CD. For i386 only (where the torrent performs reasonably), and for updating three or more machines from the same torrent result, and before Monday (October 2), then I can see the value of the FC6Pre torrent. But otherwise (not i386, only 1 or 2 machines, or after this weekend) then both you and Fedora Core probably would be better off using the rescue CD instead. -- -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
