Actually, I think it's worth having this mentioned on this list. The problem (F18 alpha will eat your data) is fairly well known on the devel list, but the fact that Jakub thought this needed a post suggests that people on the users list aren't aware of it at a time at which they might start trying Alpha. So starting a 'here be dragons' thread is not completely unwarranted. (Also a bit extreme to say we absolutely cannot mention F18 here when the assumption on devel is often that you are a maintainer or developer, this is the users list after all.) -- imalone http://ibmalone.blogspot.co.uk -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
