I understand the telnet bug fix is now in CVS, so can this fix please make FC4?
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=124248
Those of us who really need telnet install, REALLY need it. For us it's critical.
I may be mistaken, but I believe it does not impact anyone who isn't actually needing it.
Thanks.
Thanks also to Jeremy Katz for getting the fix in, and to Jim Cornette for his help reporting the problem in the first instance.

Hi all,
Fedora Core 4 public release is currently targeted for Monday, June 6. To hit that, we need some time in advance doing QA and final polishing. For test releases that is usually about a week, but this is the final FC4 release so we need a bit of extra time to do the final steps.
This means that Monday, May 23 is the final final freeze for FC4. After that, the bar for accepting changes into FC4 is even higher. Fixes will need to be for showstopper bugs (data corruption, crashing programs, and other things that impact a large percentage of users in a major way). I've sent out reminder e-mails to people who currently own FC4Target and FC4Blocker bugs in bugzilla, so you should know if you have specific bugs to address.
If you don't have any bugs to address, you can still help by doing test installs of rawhide. I'll also try to get a few intermediate test trees out for people to install.
If the plan needs clarification, please let me know! -- Elliot

It should make it. anaconda has a few other changes which need to go in and since I haven't branched yet, this will get in as well

Very cool. It will really help.
Sorry for the messy post earlier today. I really shouldn't try to two three things at once.

I (and several others) have been using telnet to install FC4. Very nice.
However, there's one capibility that used to be there which is no longer there in the newly fixed telnet feature.
In the old days (up until FC2), we could use ctrl-z to suspend telnet and access an ash shell. This no longer works.
The ctrl-z suspend was particularly valuable for tweaks to the newly installed system before a reboot, especially for "eyes-free" users who are not being served by First Boot (and our inability to escape out of First Boot). I guess our "first boot" was the ctrl-z suspend functionality!
Should this be a new bug? A reopen of the old bug?
Thanks.
