Couldn't stop myself from trying the new Fedora 2-test1 release, even if it is an alpha! The 2.6 kernel, KDE 3.2 and Gnome 2.5 all in the same release was just to much candy to turn away from; too bad it's more sour rather than sweet at this (beta) point than I would have expected.

My fedora 2 test installation did'nt go anywhere.
BT with bittorrent screwed up completely. The BT tracker did'nt seem to like my port @6882 instead of 6881, and upload were'nt good as a result. After 3 days of downloading the files wemt 300% the release size. Still the fsck-up tracker still didn't want to let me go, and the downaload never finish. I designed to plug the plug. FTP from a jap mirror was horrorbily slow. I finally go with kernel.org mirror and get the image.
I assembled an old computer for testing fedora 2. Booting from cd seemed fine at the besigning. As usual anacorda showed up and asked for GUI install or text mode install. After I choosen GUI mode kernel loaded, then the initrd. Doh! system went reboot. I suspected that might be my old HDD that was faulty. A few more reconfigurations gave the same result.
I took the CD out, read the release issues on it on my winblows box, and found that this test release only supports i686 or later........ I am completely fsck with my old k6-2 shitbox then.
