Although I hate to do it, it looks like we're going to have to slip
Fedora Core 5 test3 by a week.  There is an ABI change in the gcc/glibc
stack that requires a rebuild of the entire distribution.  Given that,
there is no way that we'll be able to make a freeze date of Monday.  So,
test3 will now freeze on Monday, 13 February with a release date of
Monday, 20 February.  

We'll adjust the final schedule sometime next week based on the progress
of the rebuilding efforts.

Thanks,

Jeremy

Fedora Core 5 Test 3 Slip

Well.. good. Test 2 worked great on my M2105US laptop minus DVD playing... that is, until I updated it. Sound, power management, gnome panel, udev, ... well, heck, dang near everything broke after updates. One week might save an awful lot of people some serious misery.
