Preview: Fedora Core 3 Test 2
Fedora Core 3 Test2 was released today, and so here's a chance to preview the software. I've been eager to try out Gnome 2.8 and KDE 3.3, so I tried to install them on my Core 2 box, which resulted in a severe package dependency crisis, so since Test 2 was released today I figured I would just reformat and install it for kicks, and to get my KDE 3.3. As you have probably already guessed, not much has changed when it comes to the Anaconda installer. No change is really necessary because it works, however making it more "graphically pleasing" would have been nice, but since you're only supposed to see it once, I suppose it really doesn't matter.
As I have said, the installation is pretty much the same. The only changes I have noticed were a new screen for SELinux (Which is set to "active" by default) and for some reason the "First Boot Configuration" is set to 800*600 by default which is just plain ugly on my monitor, but a few screens later you can set your resolution so that's only a minor problem.
Nothing has changed when it comes to how long it takes to install, Fedora Core 2 took about a half hour and so did FC3 Test 2.
