Fedora/Cinnamon desktop


 * Cinnamon Desktop
 * Updated 2015/06/29

f23 Cinnamon live spin

 * Only boots from EFI
 * http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=10234581

Alternate to netinstall (bfo.iso)

 * As of 06/27/2015 boot.iso fails and lives only boot in EFI; so we need to have an alternate installer to test rawhide builds.
 * http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/bfo/bfo.iso
 * starts in fedora server
 * Change source to:
 * https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/mash/rawhide/x86_64/os/
 * For rawhide

Testing

 * An advantage is this is based on f22 server so less complex password is accepted


 * f22 Virtualbox
 * f23 workstation x86_64
 * f23 cinnamon x86_64 + Plasma from yumex-dnf


 * USB external HD from CD
 * f23 MATE and extras

f22 Cinnamon live spin

 * 5/2/2015


 * I would like to submit a Cinnamon spin for review and possible inclusion in future Fedora releases, though I am sure it is too late to include in F22. It is a spin simply using the Cinnamon desktop environment group, and I have been working with the Cinnamon maintainers to fix any issues that have come up in F21 or F22 beta. The proposed spin page is here:
 * https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Cinnamon_Spin


 * The kickstart files are available in this repository:
 * https://github.com/Grinnz/spin-kickstart-cinnamon


 * I have uploaded ISOs for both F21 and F22 beta here:
