So we're far more accurate about guessing the OS. Even without that check, they're right for probably 90% of people who have a second OS on their hardware. Including that check I'd wager we're right on 98% of systems. Second, we provide obvious UI to change the name, so the remaining 2% of users - who are obviously running something *really* weird and can therefore be assumed to be technically competent - can easily correct the mistake. It's just not the same. -w _______________________________________________ Anaconda-devel-list mailing list Anaconda-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/anaconda-devel-list
