Testing the FC5 releases would not be a true/valid test when run inside another app such as vmware because of the extra layer of software. A true test would only occur if the new OS is running on the physical hardware, not on a virtual machine. Why not install it on a second hard drive/partition and dual boot? That would not disturb your current installation, and would allow the new OS to access the hardware directly. > -- > fedora-list mailing list > fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx > To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
