I
just downloaded the Fedora 16 64-bit iso a couple hours ago and
burned it to disc. I'm trying to boot off the disc on my Dell XPS
laptop. However, it fails to boot (just like Fedora 15 did), but
with a different error message. The error message I got seemed to
suggest it couldn't find the root partition on the disc. This is
what it said: dracut Warning: No root device "live:/dev/disk/by-label/Fedora-16-x86_64-Live-Desktop.is" is found Dropping to debug shell. sh: can't access tty: job control turned off dracut:/# Is anyone else experiencing this? Is there a way around it? I don't know why I'm having so many problems on this Dell XPS laptop. I just got it about 3 months ago and I've had a hell of a time getting it to boot from any Fedora live media, although it will boot from Scientific Linux media just fine.

Fedora 16 was released yesterday rather than Friday. You can use the attached scripts to download the entire release, including the 1300+ updates that have already been released. As always, edit the LOCAL_DEST and LOCAL_USER variables to match your system. Put these in /usr/local/bin, chmod them to 755, and chown them to root:root.
