Someone asked me by email, when he will get his FEL livecd ? Well one should be out for F8Test2, following the discussion with Jeremy.
However if one is so eager to get his livecd he/she can spin his own at home:
# yum install livecd-tools --enablerepo=development
# mkdir livecd
# cd livecd
# wget http://chitlesh.fedorapeople.org/FEL/livecd-fedora-electronic-lab.ks
# wget http://chitlesh.fedorapeople.org/FEL/livecd-fedora-base-desktop.ks
# livecd-creator --config=livecd-fedora-electronic-lab.ks \
--fslabel=Fedora-Electronic-Lab
In about one hour you will have a rawhide based livecd.
Everyday one will be surprised with rawhide. Today it was something good and very professional. It's the new theme for Fedora 8.
Grub:
rhgb:
KDE: It is a custom for fedora that just before Test 2, KDE loses its wallpaper. However it keeps up the suspense, how will the new wallpaper look like. Someone has already seen it ?

Hey, it's new Fedora 8 theme?
Will Fedora 8 include ugly Echo icon theme and cursors (which will make Fedora mix styles with many Tangoish icons)?
Yes the first 2 screenshots show the new theme.
Actually echo icon theme is the product of hardwork from fedora artwork and is indeed very good and professional.
The question that you must be asking is which other distribution creates its own icon set or steal from right to left. Thus implying no work at all from on their behalf.
But the icons that you see on the KDE desktop is the default KDE icons. Now one should remind the words from kde advocates: "fedora has still changed the kde theme". Well now it's the KDE default theme (from f7).
I totally busted the wallpaper for F8 test 2, I'm going to try to check a fix in soon. My bad.
Echo icons are incosistent and dark.
I hate them!
Tango! is good example of good perspective and color palette.
Small icons have no details, but they're still recognizable.

Tried this on my F7 desktop, and got this error:

You should execute livecd-creator as root and make sure you have an internet connection.
[[ Please join fedora-artwork mailing list and share your views. ]]
Easy to say. To send any mail to list I must to make many other steps than joining.
I've wrote someting about echo in bugzilla and what's answer? "Join mailing list". No! I will not.
Are people from this list using IRC, forums or even this stupid bugzilla?
Yes it is easy but also WISE. You are talking to me !
That is, you are talking to ONE person. Also I'm ok with echo and I like it.
Also I'm not a fedora artwork personnel.
However in fedora artwork mailing list, you will find more than 10 persons.
Your chances that someone takes into consideration your views will be more than 10 times more than writing comments in my blog.
Also you will be talking to Fedora Artwork Professionals who have their own schedule for a particular reason.
If you think your views are important to share, I suggest you talk to Fedora Artwork Professionals on the mailing list. The mailing list is active and very productive.
F8T2 will be out soon this week. more than 70% of the fedora artwork schedule has been completed. Now is the time to comment on the fedora art mailing list. All these are happening in an open discussion mailing lists and anyone is free to participate.
It all depends on the person. I don't know whether you know fedora's contributor platform. Most of the fedora contributors are leaders in a particular field, either at coding, writing documentation or at translation. They are highly respected in the fedora community and credits are given to them for their hardwork.
A good communication is always benefit to everyone especially for professionals.
Now the ball is in your position either you share your views to the real professionals or writing on my blog in hope someone will read it. I don't get many visitors you know.
livio,
please join the mailing list. It's the best place if you want to comment on fedora artwork. Regarding Echo, you can fill a ticket at the new upstream. As for the IRC, there are usually not many people available who work on Echo. I am there as msourada and it's #fedora-art channel at freenode.net.
One of the reasons you wrote why you do not like Echo is being worked on. The Echo icons are currently inconsistent (bad organization when it started; it was originally Diana Fong's personal project) and we are doing our best to create strict guidelines and fix the problems.
Chitlesh,
Obviously I was root when I tried this (the software complains differently otherwise) and I had a net connection.
What else can be wrong? Are you saying you don't have this problem at all?
Ok, sounds like I should rewrite
yum install livecd-tools --enablerepo=development
instead of
yum install livecd-tools
(i've corrected on the post)
I was using a development version of livecd-tools that isn't in the fedora-7 repositories.
Try to use the development version of livecd-tools:
You can use :
yum install livecd-tools --enablerepo=development
Hello,
I've seen that the torrent for FEL -- rawhide-FEL-i386-20070904.0.torrent it's not seeded. Is there another way to download it?
Thanks.
weird, because I'm seeding it. I've already seeded 10GB.
Test2 will be out this week, this thursday. I would recommend you to either spin your livecd with the above procedures or wait for Fedora 8 Test 2 to be out.
However I'll still be seeding the livecd.
