Where is the proper place to seek support for BFO (boot.fp.org)? I didn't really see a component for it in Bugzilla, nor were there any contact links on the website or in the FAQ.
I know it spawned out of Infrastructure, so also checked Trac -- that may be the right place but thought I'd ask here first.
I have an issue with my NIC being supported. Probably can resolve upstream, but who here would need to be pinged to implement any changes?
Thanks, Ray

It's on the FAQ: http://boot.fedoraproject.org/faq under "Why won't BFO boot"
Basically upstream problems should go straight to etherboot mostly because we often don't have access to the nic and would just be a middle man in that scenario :)
If they have a fix and there's something we can do (like re-compile BFO with some flag, or an update is ready) let us know and we'll get it updated ASAP

Hi,

perhaps BFO could switch from gPXE to iPXE [1], if that hasn't been done already? The BFO FAQ at least still talks about gPXE.
Cheers,
Speaking of support for BFO when is the image cleaned to reflect the current situation
The install menu gives me..
Fedora 1{2,3,4,4-branched}
F12 being EOL and F14 Branched should be F15 Rawhide
Same applies for Rescue
And experimental gives me F11 and F12 LiveCD both EOL releases???
So how does one go about getting on the rawhide train using BFO?

I didn't think we produced install images for rawhide. Do we?

We got the nightly composes of "Live" images?
But is then not the right question for us to ask ourselves if there is something preventing us from doing it?
Is not BFO perfect to test Anaconda changes?
Who are responsible for BFO? Releng?

The anaconda team doesn't want wide spread testing of their changes all the time. When they are ready for a wider audience for testing they ask releng to produce an install set and QA to announce it. There are also the coordinated and scheduled image test points during the release schedule. It is only after a release has branched from rawhide that nightly images are produced.
As for who's responsible for BFO, that has historically been something the infrastructure team has managed.
