An updated Fedora 8 Re-Spin has been released

The Fedora Unity Project is proud to announce the release of new ISO Re-Spins (DVD and CD Sets) of Fedora 8. These Re-Spin ISOs are based on the officially released Fedora 8 installation media and include all updates released as of March 31st, 2008. The ISO images are available for i386, x86_64 and PPC architectures via Jigdo starting Wednesday, April 2nd, 2008. We have included CD Image sets for those in the Fedora community that do not have DVD drives or burners available. During the Testing phase the following was found: 1) a full x86_64 install with many optional packages or languages requires at least 768MB of RAM rather than the recommended 512MB. 2) the ftp utility in rescue mode will not work (missing libreadline.so.5) -which doesn't affect FTP installations. With this particular Re-Spin, we address the following problems experienced by many community members, in addition to the problems we've resolved in previous Re-Spins[1]: - #420281, Cannot find kickstart file during unattended installation The kickstart file name searched for after booting from CD or DVD with option "linux ks" and using a dhcp and nfs server is wrong. We would like to give a special thanks to the following for testing this respin in 2 days - Harley-D Dana Hoffman Jr - zcat Jason Farrell - iWolf Jeffrey Tadlock - baard1973 S.A. Hartsuiker - Southern_Gentleman Ben Williams - kanarip Jeroen van Meeuwen Fedora Unity has taken up the Re-Spin task to provide the community with the chance to install Fedora with recent updates already included. These updates might otherwise comprise more than 1.33GiB of downloads for a full install. This is a community project, for and by the community. You can contribute to the community by joining our test process. A full list of bugs, packages and changelogs that have been updated in this Re-Spin can be reviewed on http://spins.fedoraunity.org/changelogs/20080331/ Go to http://spins.fedoraunity.org/spins to get the bits!
