This document is a highly abridged version of the release notes used during the test1 and test2 phases of development.

== Welcome to Fedora 8 Test 2 ==<br />
<br />
Fedora is a set of projects sponsored by Red Hat and guided by the contributors. These projects are developed by a large community of people who strive to provide and maintain the very best in free, open source software and standards. The central Fedora project is an operating system and platform based on Linux that is always free for anyone to use, modify, and distribute, now and forever.<br />
<br />
You can help the Fedora Project community continue to improve Fedora if you file bug reports and enhancement requests. Refer to [http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugsAndFeatureRequests this page] for more information. Thank you for your participation.<br />
<br />
To find out more general information about Fedora, refer to the following Web pages:<br />
<br />
* Fedora Overview (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Overview)<br />
<br />
* Fedora FAQ (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FAQ)<br />
<br />
* Help and Support (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate)<br />
<br />
* Participate in the Fedora Project (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/HelpWanted)<br />
<br />
== Known Issues ==<br />
<br />
* To install from the Live image on a system that already contains a Linux swap partition, you must disable swap before starting the install. Start a terminal and run <code>su -c "/sbin/swapoff -a"</code> before you start the installer.<br />
* If your system has more than 1 GB of RAM, you can run the Live image from memory to improve responsiveness as you test. At the boot menu, hit the '''Tab''' key to edit options, and add the parameter ''live_ram'' to the option list.<br />

=== Spins ===<br />
<br />
Fedora includes several different ''spins'', which are variations of Fedora built from a specific set of software packages. Each spin has a combination of software to meet the requirements of a specific kind of end user. In addition to a very small <code>boot.iso</code> image for network installation, users have the following spin choices:<br />
<br />
* A regular Fedora image for desktops, workstations and server users. This spin provides a good upgrade path and similar environment for users of previous releases of Fedora.<br />
<br />
* Fedora Live (i686, x86_64, ppc) - A good general use Desktop live image that uses GNOME. Only the i686 version fits on a CD.<br />
<br />
* Fedora KDE Live (i686, x86_64) - A Desktop based on the KDE software suite. Only the i686 version fits on a CD.<br />
<br />

<br />
* [http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/FedoraElectronicLab Fedora Electronic Lab (FEL) Live] (i686) - A live image designed for engineers working on electronics. This image fits on a CD.<br />

== Intended Audience for Test Releases ==<br />
<br />
'''Test 1''' is targeted for developers, who use it "at your own risk", and contains many bleeding edge packages.<br />
<br />
'''Test 2''' is for early adopters. Most things should work and we ''really need your help'' to find what is broken.<br />
<br />
'''Test 3''' is for beta users. This is the time when we ''must have'' full community participation. Without this participation both hardware and software functionality suffers.<br />
<br />
== Quality Assurance for Test Releases ==<br />
<br />
The Fedora Project has a process in place for ensuring the highest possible quality even in our test releases. Many bugs are identified, prioritized and fixed during the testing process. We also have a list of known bugs in this release. Refer to [[QA/8/Test2TreeTesting| this page]] for more details.<br />
<br />
== Translations of Release Notes ==<br />
<br />
Due to the rapidly changing nature of test releases, translations of release notes for test releases are not practical. The initial goal is to have a translation of the release notes included in the third test release and to allow commun</div>fp-wiki>ImportUser
