I'm a fan of the Middle Way (#4) as well - ask questions during install, optionally (either by KS flag or "Ask me later" button) ask them at firstboot instead. (It'd be nice if we could ditch firstboot - less code means less bugs! - but I really don't think we can get away with it. It has some legitimate uses.) Which brings me to two observations: - Hey, shouldn't firstboot be a hub-and-spoke UI as well? - User personalization is a post-install thing, so shouldn't that go into the post-install-setup hub? (Or is there some info gathered there [hostname?] that's needed pre-install?) -w _______________________________________________ Anaconda-devel-list mailing list Anaconda-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/anaconda-devel-list
