Announcing the third test release of Fedora Core 2

Tue Apr 27 20:36:11 UTC 2004

  "If I'm curt with you, it's because time is a factor. I think
  fast, I type fast, and I need you guys to act fast if you want
  to get the best out of this. So, pretty please, with sugar on
  top, try the test release!"

Yes, it's time for the third and final test release of Fedora Core 2.

Notable changes in this release include:

- SELinux is now disabled by default. If you'd like to install with
  SELinux support, pass 'selinux' to the installer. Bug reports about
  the behavior and support of SELinux are certainly still welcome; we're
  still working on it.
- The 'CD1 won't boot' issue appears to be resolved. Any reports of
  continued failure are certainly appreciated.
- Please check the included translations for correctness and sanity.
  Anaconda now installs in 31 languages.

Problems with Fedora Core 2 test 3 should be reported via
bugzilla, at:
