Apart from the bugs we all know exist in bugzilla (fixed or not), does anybody actually run the install before whatever currently gets declared RCn and if that is good enough to be released? With the rapid transition from RC1 -> RC2 -> RC3, I observed the overall install process from DVD deteriorate quite substantially from the F14-Alpha DVD. This leads me to believe that installation from DVD was not tested before RC3 was declared gold. I am however hoping this is not the case and will gladly be corrected. Yes, I do understand that F14 is still in Alpha/Beta, is not guaranteed to be perfect, and may eat small children, I believe that before we as a community declare something to be a milestone that we at least do some basic QA testing. Peoples thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated. -- Steven Haigh Email: netwiz@xxxxxxxxx Web: http://www.crc.id.au Phone: (03) 9001 6090 - 0412 935 897 Fax: (03) 8338 0299 -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
