Fedora Core 2 available today!



I've installed FC2 on a couple systems now and havent had any weird
geometry issues.  If I hit this issue, you can be sure I would be in
#fedora-devel chewing people out though.  I did that a couple days ago
when I noticed Anaconda has a stupid 1TB limit for partition sizes.
It seems more and more like parted is a pile of broken code.
