As for bringing back partitioning in some form - this is the same as the package selection argument. Great, we let you do one thing about partitioning now. Why not let people just create partitions? That can't be so hard, can it? Okay now that we've let you create partitions, how about editing them? And configuring the bootloader? And so on... and we're back to where we started with a complex, crowded, and half-implemented partitioning screen that is still not at all like the GUI experience. > - Package Selection.

No, we need to change this perception. There's no intended link between something being on the console and something being more advanced. For as long as I've been working on anaconda, text mode has not been seen by us as the advanced installer. It's been more like the crippled installer. Advanced users really want to go with the installer interface that gives them the power to do whatever crazy stuff they want, and that's just not been possible with text mode. - Chris _______________________________________________ Anaconda-devel-list mailing list Anaconda-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/anaconda-devel-list
