Also I would have expected testing instructions on the live media to perform the tests without the need to setup an internet connection on the testing machine. Also some bug report info gathering scripts would have been nice, that e.g. collect all the data required by the packages maintainers for a bug report in some file on the usb medium. E.g. the Xorg people wanted a lot of information that I did not have anymore after I rebooted to my stable F10 system and reported the bug. Also when the test crashes the Xserver, it is very annoying to get to the log files, because they are deleted after a reboot. Also the media was not signed in a way that one can easily verify that it was not tampered with. E.g. the official Fedora releases are normally signed with a gpg key that can be obtained via the SSH secured CVS repository. > 5. What follow-up actions do you expect after the Test Day?

It would be nice to automate the tests that need to be run, e.g. just boot the media and then the tests are automatically started and the user is asked for input in case something cannot be detected automatically. This is especially useful for testing hardware support, because the required testing actions are mostly simple, e.g. boot with this option, play this video, ... Regards Till
