Oh, my... :-( Well, I removed zen and friends, but I used the command line (rpm --erase ...). This way there is no risk of extra things being removed.
There are practical problems with testing alphas. Few people have unused uptoscratch hardware sitting around where it doesn't matter if the filesystems go down the gurgler by alpha testing. Using vmware is useless without installing the kernel sources and modules and so on, and doesn't allow testing of hardware interaction. It's a resource issue which I haven't satisfactorily solved, and I'm probably not alone. A wiki section on how to test would be helpful.
Exactly! Which is why I say that the Beta phase should be longer and slower paced, so that more people can test on a secondary partition on their main systems without so much danger. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
