Re: Problem trying to update my extension to work on 3.8

[Nick Glynn <exosyst gmail com>]

Hey Alex,

That's a great idea - it's what we do when running Linux courses.

I had to experiment with the new F18 installer but it's trivial to boot the live CD and install fedora to the thumbstick directly.

Not difficult and a surprisingly useful way of testing these things!

Regards
Nick

Hello guys, 

You can buy a 16G memory stick (is about 12 Euros) and install Fedora 19 there that has Gnome 3.8.

Is  actually faster than virtual box. 

You can check on internet for tutorials how to make it, or I can also write up one.

Great! :)

I'll try that, thanks!
