We've been cooking, and now it's time for a final taste test!
The Fedora Project is proud to announce the availability of the Fedora
10 Preview Release. The Fedora 10 Preview Release is our last
pre-release offering before we let everyone taste the goods for real.

Doesn't it smell yummy? We know you can't resist, and we don't want you
to. We want everyone in the Fedora community to take an early sample and
tell us what you find. The recipe is pretty good, but now is the time to
make it perfect. Ingredients include:
* Faster boot using Plymouth
* Wireless connection sharing
* Better printing
* Enhanced software update and maintenance, from RPM 4.6 to
PackageKit
* Virtualization storage
* SecTool, security audit and intrusion detection system
* Glitch free audio using timer-based scheduling
And, since this is Fedora, we don't have anything to hide. Take a peek
at what is in the not-so-secret sauce by looking at our Release Notes in
the Fedora Project wiki. We use 100% pure free and open source software
here, none of that high-fructose proprietary stuff.

Most of you should get a very tasty treat, but some of you might
experience a little bitterness. Don't fret - all is not lost - there is
still time to improve the recipe before we share it with the world. Head
over to the Fedora Bugzilla (http://bugzilla.redhat.com) and let us know
what offended your palate.

If you'd like to interact with the chefs more directly, join the live
staff in the kitchen by coming to #fedora-qa on irc.freenode.net, or
leave a message on the corkboard by the back door:

Ready to get your free preview sample? Go ahead and swipe one straight
from the oven - we don't mind. Put on your favorite heat resistant
BitTorrent mitt and grab one of the following goodies. Take as many as
you like.
Thanks for tasting!

P.S. Please remember that as we run a public mirror system, the mirrors
for Fedora 10 Preview will not all be ready at this time, and may become
overloaded as the day goes on. If you receive permission denied
messages, please continue trying until you get through.

Help ! - Any Expert May volunteer - Indian BroadBand (DATAONE-BSNL) users would be benefitted
by Kamalendu Chakrabarty
Sir,
I am facing problem. I installed Fedora -9. My Laptop is having
Wireless Lan and no Lan Cable can be connected. I am a BSNL-Dataone
Broadband user. The ADSL Modem (MT882 - Huawei Technologies Ltd) do
not have provision for WLAN. So only alternative is USB connection.
The Driver supplied is old one and cannot be configured for Fedora. I
have searched so many community websites and find that so many suffers
like me.
After a serious search I got the Drivers for (MT882 )from Calcutta
Telephones Dataone site and I have Zipped them and do attach herewith.
If any of our expert community member takes the pain to create an RPM
PACKAGE - then new bees of Fedora in India may get benefitted - since
BSNL is the single largest ISP providing BroadBand facility in India.
An effort in this regard would be a good community service to inspire
new bees to Fedora World.
