What to test?

This week's instalment of Fedora Test Day will focus on:

Preparing for Test Day

Depending on the speed of your connection and the time available for testing, there are several methods available for

Live Images

Please download a live ISO image for your architecture:
- i686
- x86_64
Prepare your live image by following the instructions at FedoraLiveCD

Or run the dowloaded ISO image in qemu:

 su -c 'qemu -cdrom Fedora-10-Beta-i686-Live.iso -m 512 -std-vga'

Install Media

Consult the installation guide for quick start information to determine the best install method for your needs.
Follow instructions for installing your system.
- Alternatively, on an already installed system:
  1. Install snake:
```
yum install snake
```
  2. Configure your system for installation:
```
snake-install http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/test/10-Beta/Fedora/i386/os
```

How to test?

Once completed, please add your findings and discuss any issues or concerns on IRC #fedora-qa.

The following test matrix was developed by User:dcantrell

                         |   netboot     |   boot.iso    |
    boot argument        | dhcp | static | dhcp | static |

Need help?

We'll have a host of QA and Development characters hanging out discussing bugs (aka "features"), expectations, and test areas. I've included details below for how you can contribute below.

The following cast of characters will be available testing, workarounds, bug fixes, and general discussion ...

Development - User:dcantrell, User:clumens
Quality Assurance - User:Johannbg, User:jlaska, User:wwoods
