[Test-Announce] Fedora 16 Alpha Release Candidate 5 (RC5) Available Now!

**IMPORTANT** : The next Fedora 16 Alpha Go/No-Go meeting is in less than 24 hours - Wednesday, August 17, 2011 @21:00 UTC (17:00 EDT/14:00 PDT) so the Alpha test cases (see below) would need to be done by then. Thanks. As per the Fedora 16 schedule [1], Fedora 16 Alpha Release Candidate 5 (RC5) is now available for testing. Please see the following pages for download links and testing instructions. In general, official live images arrive a few hours after the install images: see the links below for updates. When they appear, the download directory should be the same as that for install images, except with the trailing "/Fedora/" replaced by "/Live/".
