Description Bit Twister 2012-01-31 23:04:41 CET 
Description of problem:

Alpha3 iso failed to install on two out of three machines (2 new, 1 old) which had no problems with clean installs of alpha1 and alpha2.

I was able to do a ftp install on one of the newer machines.
I am finding problems fixed on new ftp install but are still broke on updated alpha3 machine. Updated alpha3 VirtualBox guests abort when bringing up kde.

I thinking with 3 weeks to beta1, it might help to see if the newer systems clean install is still broke.

I have also seen clean install of alpha3+updates clean up problems that
were on same system, same clean install of dvd which had several large update cycles.

A clean install in the older machine would let me retest my current open reports to see if they are resolved.

How about a new DVD.iso in some public location I can download and test.
As soon as I get it, I can close this request and you can delete it.  :)

Guessing some i586 users would not mind having a new one also. :-D

Food for thought. The Mandriva developers had a nightly build iso directory.
It was not on the mirrors. Example Mandriva.2011.x86_64.X.iso where X was a sequential build identifier. Testers could get one for testing any time they wanted to start over.

I would have thought Mageia would have something like that to avoid any surprises the day before next phase iso release.

We don't have resources to build a specific intermediary ISO before beta. And we don't have a daily/weekly test build process yet (see bug 122).
