. Please see the following pages for download links (including delta
ISOs) and testing instructions. Normally
dl.fedoraproject.org should
provide the fastest download, but
download-ib01.fedoraproject.org is
available as a mirror (with an approximately 1 hour lag) in case of
trouble. To use it, just replace "dl" with "download-ib01" in the
download URL.
So I gave this a quick test in the VM and my conclusion is that the
installer is still way too broken even for an alpha release.
Selecting a language? Crash.
Telling it to create a disk layout at the review screen? Crash.
(Both are in bugzilla).
Finishing to fight with it to get the live install done -> system does not boot.
<rant>Unrelated to the alpha but the UI still looks very unpolished
(ex: why does the installation screen still say "PERSONALIZATION" ) ?
And "Quit" on the live image should not reboot the system but just
close anaconda IMO. </rant>
