Content information, including changes, can be found at 
https://fedorahosted.org/rel-eng/ticket/6102#  comment:12.Please see 
the following pages for download links and testing instructions. 
Normally dl.fedoraproject.org should provide the fastest download, but

approximately 1 hour lag) in case of trouble. To use it, just replace 
"dl" with "download-ib01" in the download URL.

Testing f22

If not done a spin may be dropped.
  • NOTE as of anaconda 22.17-1 only strong passwords can be used.(20150201)

"A security problem was recognized because the ssh daemon is enabled by default on Fedora systems: with a weak root password, a remote attacker might easily obtain unlimited access."

  • testing results (20150201):
setenforce 0 needed to access network. Installer will fail if no networking is working.

If you don’t have or don’t use Wi-Fi on your system, you don’t need to install stuff for it and you can save some disk space and RAM. If you suddenly find yourself without Wi-Fi, find a wired network connection and:"

dnf install NetworkManager-wifi
systemctl restart NetworkManager
