Fedora 25 Alpha released today with kernel 4.8rc2 and btrfs-progs 4.6.1. https://getfedora.org/en/workstation/prerelease/ The top green "Download" button offers GNOME. If you want something smaller, on the right hand side are netinstall images with the same kernel and progs, but no GUI. You can choose the Troubleshooting menu, and then the Rescue a Fedora System option. It boots, and then you're at a text UI where you can just get to a shell, option 3. The easiest way to create a USB stick is with dd and it'll boot practically anything, BIOS, UEFI, even Macs. Not all wireless firmware is included in these media, if you have a wired connection it'll be easier to get dmesg and and contents of btrfs check off. If you opt for the larger image (GNOME), it's a bit easier to get the terminal output into a file and either scp it to another computer or you can also use fpaste <filename> and it'll spit back a URL where it uploaded the text. -- Chris Murphy -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
