Thanks -- the live cd tool could be very useful for testing coming up
to the next release. Perhaps we can compile a list of volunteers with
various makes of laptops to run some sort of live cd tests at the
test2 or test3 phase. I would be glad to to use my Thinkpad T41p for
testing -- as long as I'm back to a usable computer by pressing the
reset button. Is a "fedora-laptop-list" warranted?
I had a quick look at Ubuntu 5.04 yesterday evening. There are a few
things there I think we could use:
1. They have a hardware test program which can be used to compile a
report which can be sent back to the development team, along your
comments on each of the tests.
2. There is a hardware browser (do we have something like that? I
can't find it if we do). This would be a *VERY* useful tool.
Joe.

We have a live CD creation tool called Kadischi and some live CD's
floating around in fedora-livecd list. Details at

We also have a project
http://pootypedia.sourceforge.net/ which got
sponsored by Fedora as part of Google's SOC. Unfortunately pootypedia is
based on Kudzu while we are moving to HAL instead. Someone needs to
combine these efforts and we need more developers to take this forward.
