QA/8/FinalTreeTesting

Fedora 8 Pre-Release Test Coordination
This page contains some installation tests that should be performed before Fedora 8.

Current Testing Tree
The current public release candidate is RC3, which is available on http://torrent.fedoraproject.org/.

The final set of images (RC5) includes fixes for the bugs noted below. Current Rawhide includes these fixes also, so - if possible - use  rawhide  for testing instead of the RC3 images.
