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?

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
ksdevice=MACADDR	(jlaska) works	(jlaska)465285 Must disable ipv6	(dcantrell) works
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
