What to test?

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

• Fedora 10 Beta
• Anaconda NetworkManager Integration

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

1. Please download a live ISO image for your architecture:
   • i686
   • x86_64
2. Prepare your live image by following the instructions at FedoraLiveCD
3. Or run the dowloaded ISO image in qemu:

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

Install Media

1. Consult the installation guide for quick start information to determine the best install method for your needs.
2. 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?

Please add your findings to the matrix below or discuss any issues or concerns on IRC #fedora-qa.

Assumptions:

• Do not change ipv6 settings, the default "Auto discovery" should work
• All networking configuration (static or dhcp) is done manually, unless specified in the boot argument column

The following test matrix was developed by User:Dcantrel

	netboot		boot.iso
Boot argument	dhcp	static	dhcp	static
Network device selection parameters
ksdevice=eth0	(johannbg) works	(jlaska)465285 Must disable ipv6	(dcantrell) works	(jlaska)465285 Must disable ipv6
ksdevice=MACADDR	(jlaska) works	(jlaska)465285 Must disable ipv6	(dcantrell) works	(jlaska)465285 Must disable ipv6
ksdevice=link	(jlaska) works	(jlaska)465285 Must disable ipv6
ksdevice=BOOTIF	(jlaska) works	(jlaska)465285 Must disable ipv6
Network device configuration parameters
ip=X.X.X.X (also includes gateway=, dns= and netmask=)	(jlaska)(johannbg)465270
ip=dhcp	(johannbg) works
Other parameters that require an active network connection
ks=URL	(jlaska)465314	(jlaska)465314	(jlaska) similar to 465314 ... but next starts tui loader screen
updates=URL	(jlaska) works	(jlaska)465285 Must disable ipv6	(jlaska) works	(jlaska)465285 Must disable ipv6
