Hi all - |
2 |
I just uploaded the beta x86 LiveCD for 2004.2. It, along with the |
3 |
specs, kernel configs, and portage snap used to build it can be found at |
4 |
<http://dev.gentoo.org/~zhen/2004.2/. I have opened a "tracking" bug on |
5 |
bugs.g.o for this. Please post all patches, bugs, comments, etc to that |
6 |
bug so that we can more easily track our progress. Just so we have a |
7 |
central authority, I will build the LiveCDs as needed for this testing |
8 |
phase (works well because I can test catalyst enhancements too). The |
9 |
bugs url is http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=51396. |

If you are testing (which everyone should be doing ;) ), please make |
12 |
sure to test the following as much as possible. These are the areas that |
13 |
we have highlighted for improvement: |
14 |
|
15 |
-wireless |
16 |
-pcmcia kernel modules |
17 |
-Dell servers |
18 |
-SATA |
19 |
-SCSI |
20 |
-SMP support |
21 |
|
22 |
Once we get at least one test revision under our belt, I will post the |
23 |
above to -dev so that we can get an even larger test group. Keep your |
24 |
eyes out for the final 2004.2 schedule, which I will post this week. |
25 |
Keep in mind that most of it will be spent in test cycles like this one |
26 |
(which is a good thing :) ). |

|
28 |
Cheers and happy testing!, |
