Re: Fedora Core 2 Test 2

[John Reuning <john@metalab.unc.edu>]

I'll offer my limited experience with fc2t2.  I've done two installs,
both onto clean systems with reformatted partitions.  There was an
option to disable selinux in the installer click-through choices.

The first install resulted in an almost unusable system.  I think
something hiccuped because the fs labeling was messed up.  For example,
I couldn't create user accounts as root because the root user didn't
have access to write /etc/shadow or /etc/passwd.  A manual relabeling of
the file systems fixed the problem.  After that, everything was fine.

The second install was smooth.  No labeling or policy problems yet. 
Although, I haven't used the system except as a headless test server.

I haven't tried upgrading a fc1 system to fc2t2.  Maybe that's a source
of trouble?

Thanks,

-John R.
