Hi, I'd like to start discussion about the rescue mode purpose and look in the newui environment. Currently we have just a shell encapsulated in very simple menu (with the possibility of calling firstaidkit tasks .. of which we have about two working..). I see the following common use cases: 1) Somebody with a hosed bootloader, but the system and hardware are OK 2) Somebody who needs to do partitioning stuff to fix something 3) Reseting root password for users who forgot 4) Real rescue when hardware fails (including a graphic card malfunction) 5) Rescue tasks for corporate customers using serial console hardware (with possibly not working NICs or network) 6) Our QA sometimes used kickstarted rescue to do testing tasks (commonly in virt environment with no NICs) I suppose we could use the hub and spoke model for the first three cases, but the fourth and fifth one is going to be harder. We cannot rely on GUI when the cause might be in graphic adapter (or there is no adapter at all). So tell me what you think or if you know more use cases. -- Martin Sivák msivak@xxxxxxxxxx Red Hat Czech Anaconda team / Brno, CZ _______________________________________________ Anaconda-devel-list mailing list Anaconda-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/anaconda-devel-list
