Welcome to Fedora 8 Test 3

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.

You can help the Fedora Project community continue to improve Fedora if you file bug reports and enhancement requests. Refer to this page for more information. Thank you for your participation.

Known Issues

• The default console font does not include the Romanian diacritics. This can be fixed by changing the "locale-list" file from the system-config-language sources from "ro_RO.UTF-8 utf8 latarcyrheb-sun16 Romanian" to "ro_RO.UTF-8 utf8 LatArCyrHeb-16 Romanian". (bugzilla # 294531)

• CD/DVD hangs during install with message "Ready". There appears to be an issue between ISOLINUX and certain BIOS, this can be worked around by holding down the "shift" key. The fix should be present in FC8test3. (bugzilla # 239585)

• nm-applet is segfaulting during gnome-keyring operation. The workaround seems to be to remove the gconf entry for the WAP, restart NetworkManager service, and also remove the keyrings. It will prompt to resupply the info, denying NM from adding content to the keyrings also seems to help. (bugzilla # 301521)
