Hi all,

Ive pushed a fedora 12 install tree to=20
http://secondary.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora-secondary/releases/test/12-
Alpha/Fedora/sparc/
which should also be on all the mirrors.
https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=3Dfedora-rawhide&arch=3Ds=
parc=20
will give you the list of mirrors.

Please test and report issues here.

To partition your system you need to break to a shell.  either in rescue mo=
de=20
or via a tty in anaconda as soon as the install starts.  you should then do=
 a=20
manual partition in anaconda and allocate mount point and file systems to t=
he=20
partitions you have made.  formatting works just fine, creating the partiti=
ons=20
doesn't.

some big fat warnings

Partitioning in anaconda does not work.
upgrades from previous releases are completely untested.=20
prelink is broken and needs to be disabled post install
selinux does not work in enforcing mode
you will need to use vnc for install (you need to select manual partitionin=
g)
network booting the installer does not work and likely will not be supporte=
d=20
at all (the images are way bigger than OBP allows.  we need some new soluti=
on)

The UUID issue reported on this list seems to be solely due to artifacts le=
ft=20
over from lvm previously being used on an install.

i've probably missed things.

Dennis
