=== How to join? ===

For information on joining a Fedora Test Day, see [[QA/Test_Days#Where_are_Test_Days_held.3F]]

=== What to test? ===

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

* [[Anaconda/Features/NewTextUI|Anaconda text-mode simplification]]
* [https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-announce/2009-January/msg00010.html Fedora 11 Alpha]

=== Preparing for Test Day ===

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

'''Download Required Images'''

Choose an option below that best suites your networking needs:

# Using a ''boot.iso'' (small download ... requires networking during install)
#* Please download a boot.iso image for your architecture ([http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/10/Fedora/i386/os/images/boot.iso i686], [http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/10/Fedora/x86_64/os/images/boot.iso x86_64])
# Using a Live ISO image (small download ... networking not required for install)
#* Please download a live ISO image for your architecture ([http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/10/Live/i686 i686], [http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/10/Live/x86_64 x86_64])
# Using a DVD ISO (requires bandwith to download DVD image ... but networking not required for installation)
#* Please download a DVD ISO for your architecture ([ftp://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/10/Fedora/i386/iso/ i686], [ftp://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/10/Fedora/x86_64/iso/ x86_64])

'''Real or Virtual'''
# Do you have a system that [[Virtualization_Quick_Start#Additional_requirements_for_fully_virtualized_guests|supports virtualization]]?
#* Your best option might be to test installs using virtual systems.  Virt-manager is your friend ...
# Do you have a spare system that you can reinstall without worry?
#* In this case, you can help test by booting your spare system using the downloaded images above
#* If you don't have a CD/DVD burner, you might consider using [http://snake.fedorahosted.org snake].
# Only one system available?
#* You may still be able to test virtual systems using qemu, however the installs may be slow.

=== How to test? ===

The [[Anaconda/Features/NewTextUI]] is available for testing using an [http://clumens.fedorapeople.org/notext.img updates.img].  The updates.img can be tested against [[Releases/Rawhide|Rawhide]] or Fedora 10.  

To use the updates.img, boot the anaconda installer with the following options:

<pre>
updates=http://clumens.fedorapeople.org/notext.img text
</pre>
