thank you very much! (what about showing the installation size? :) )

Then Fedora Core 6 is going to be delayed ?

Our intent is to have as minimal of a schedule impact as we can -- basically, we're going to keep with the overall freeze schedule (Monday) and handle release blocker quality bugs as they come in. But at the same time, we want to do what we can to ensure a high quality release

How about extras repo installation bug at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=206352 ?

Yes. Using external repos from CD/DVD method installations wasn't expected to work with Test3, but Jeremy got it working for the psuedo Test4. Should actually be fixed in tomorrow's rawhide. In fact, as we fix these bugs, rawhide should be suitable for testing them (unless the bug was directly effected by media installs)

So just to be clear, there is no sense downloading the iso's to do a network install, if I have a current rawhide tree to install from?

I have a laptop I want to try to install on this weekend. :-)

Correct. In fact, rawhide may be slightly newer than the FC6 Pre isos.

I also had no keyboard for firstboot on a rawhide install I did on Monday. When you bugzilla it, could your report it here?

This is already being worked on.

Greetings!

I know many of you have had problems installing FC6t3. Let me offer my apologies, and my sincere thanks to you for *trying* to help us test Fedora Core.

We still want your help! In order to make that happen, we've decided to do an early release of pre-FC6 disk images. They will only be available by bittorrent, in order to save us time waiting for the mirrors to sync.

This release should fix the most common bugs preventing installation of FC6t3, including:

#206913: Anaconda exception on upgrade from FC4 #206876: GRUB claims initrd is too big for memory on x86_64 #208080: ahci/ata_piix mixup causes Anaconda to not find SATA disks #206453: installed x86_64/ppc system missing initrd, cannot boot #206202: Anaconda traceback during lvcreate on ppc64

...and others.

We'll make an announcement when the images actually become available. Let me know if there are any questions.

Will,

I appologize for bothering you but I'm trying to do some testing on my newly kickstarted fc6t3 system. I went to the repo file in /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-updates-testing.repo and changed enabled=0 to enabled=1. All I get is an error (see below) when I do yum update. I've been searching for the solution to this and it's how I found this posting.

Fedora updates testing is useless on a development branch/test releases and wont work. That repository is used for testing updates that are scheduled for general releases. You only need fedora-devel and extras-devel repositories enabled in the development branch/test releases to participate in testing.

Did I do something wrong? Does your writing apply to me? Should I just cool my heels?

Not quite sure what you're trying to do George, but if you want to run rawhide, just enable fedora-development.repo and fedora-extras-development.repo, then run yum update.

If, on the other hand, you're trying to acquire the FC6 prerelease, it's available by bittorrent. http://torrent.fedoraproject.org/

After getting FC6 preRelease about two weeks ago, I have been running pup and I get now updates. yum also shows no available updates.

Any ideas?

Thanks, Ernesto

Jay

What is the official release date for FC6?  I saw October 17th on the web site, but it did not list RC1, so I don't know if I should believe it.

Is that the official date or has it slipped?

The schedule page is always the 'official' date. However the date is subject to change up until the release actually happens. 'RC1' as you call it, or Pre as we call it was unplanned and thus was not on the schedule.
