Hasn't been on any of the Fedora Live images. I can definitely see it making sense.

There is no xorg.conf included by default; there is one auto-generated by system-config-display at boot time, but that should be fine (it should match what would have gotten generated by anaconda). Can you file a bug against X with the X config and X log attached? > - Is yum upgrading from test4 to final going to be "supported"?

If there are problems that people notice upgrading to rawhide from test4 in the run-up to F7 final, please file bugs and make them block F7Blocker. Also, cc me if you'd like and we can try to make sure they get fixed. > - I am very happy that NetworkManager now finally supports WPA without > any special tricks.

No, NMDispatcher just runs custom scripts... arguably it should be enabled by default, but if so, the bug should be that they shouldn't be separate initscripts. > - The LiveCD runs quite slowly on my 850 MHz laptop with 256 MB RAM > but it does run OK.

More just that things are slow with 256 megs of RAM I think :( Especially as we don't enable found swaps on the live images to avoid making changes to running systems[1] > - It is lovely that you are including links to Magnatune and Jamendo > in Rythmbox and Firefox ... the only problem is that their music is in > mp3 format which we cannot play (without some hoop jumping) They both provide things in ogg which is a good part of why we're linking to them.
