Things I write for Planet FedoraProject consumption
The Fedora Documentation Project will be more or less “freezing” the release notes on the wiki tomorrow at 2359 UTC (7:59 pm US/Eastern) to bring in release notes content for translation for Fedora 7 test4. If you have changes to report that are relevant for Fedora 7 — and we …
So I’m sure that title has never, ever been used in a blog entry about Rawhide. Ahem. Anyhoo… I’m trying F7 test3 (more or less, whatever Rawhide was this afternoon) on my ThinkPad T60p and, like Warren, getting absolutely no love from my ipw3945 wireless using the new iwlwifi. This …
