Hi
No, as a side effect of this install the Fedora distribution
would be tested, and if anyone cared it could be fixed before
releasing the broken iso images. If I didn't make that clear,
the FC5 test1 isos were broken in the video handling, not vmware
player and that's that needs the support. I'd guess that the same
breakage applied to real hardware in the same way as the vmware
emulation and it has been fixed in updates. I'm not surprised at
a test release having such breakage, of course, but I hope we agree
that it would have been in everyone's interest if it had been
noticed and fixed before anyone downloaded those isos. It's
not a matter of having to do extra support since this had to
be fixed anyway - it's a matter of how many people see and are
inconvenienced by the broken version and form their opinions
based on it.
I am sure people can calliberate their expectations according to the
appropriate notes within the announcement, installer, release notes etc
about this being a test release. Users are intelligent to understand
that test releases might have bugs.
