What to test?[edit]

This week's instalment of Fedora Test Day will focus on:

Preparing for Test Day[edit]

Depending on the speed of your connection and the time available for testing, there are several methods available for

Live Images

  1. Please download a live ISO image for your architecture:
  2. Prepare your live image by following the instructions at FedoraLiveCD
  3. Or run the dowloaded ISO image in qemu:
     su -c 'qemu -cdrom Fedora-10-Beta-i686-Live.iso -m 512 -std-vga'

Install Media

  1. Consult the installation guide for quick start information to determine the best install method for your needs.
  2. Follow instructions for installing your system.
    • Alternatively, on an already installed system:
      1. Install snake:
        yum install snake
      2. Configure your system for installation:
        snake-install http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/test/10-Beta/Fedora/i386/os

How to test?[edit]

Please add your findings to the matrix below or discuss any issues or concerns on IRC #fedora-qa.

Assumptions:

  • Do not change ipv6 settings, the default "Auto discovery" should work
  • All networking configuration (static or dhcp) is done manually, unless specified in the boot argument column
