I agree the install time > and memory requirement could be lower, but it is mostly not on our side to fix. The installer is responsible for the user experience during install. If the tools are broken, then fix them; else get better tools. After install, "yum update" fetches [downloads] all .rpms before updating anything. During install by anaconda, the fetching [downloading] of each .rpm occurs immediately before the install of that .rpm. Therefore anaconda controls at least some part of how yum works. If the current choices give poor performance, then change those choices. One such change would be to help yum pipeline and parallelize [one of the modes of] its operation; for example, by implementing some derived classes that specialize the installer's particular usage. If that does not work, then choose something other than yum. -- _______________________________________________ Anaconda-devel-list mailing list Anaconda-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/anaconda-devel-list
