Can you explain in more detail your concerns about rescue mode? It might help the discussion. A key perspective on rescue mode is that it doesn't, in an ultimate analysis, _do_ very much: basically it brings up the network, mounts the installed system partitions, and gives you a shell. Simple dracut 'rd.break' mode gives you two out of three already (a rescue shell and the installed system partitions mounted). One angle there is that it should actually be fairly trivial to implement a newUI and/or dracut-based 'rescue mode' replacement, but another angle is that losing rescue mode isn't really all that terrible; it sounds impressive, but it really does comparatively little and there are all sorts of ways to essentially achieve the same thing (boot a live image, whether a Fedora one or a rescue-specific live image; boot to anaconda and use the VT it presents; use rd.break on the 'broken' installation...) So it would help to direct the discussion if those who are worried about losing rescue mode define more precisely exactly what they feel we lose by dropping it. That'll help us in determining exactly what is needed to compensate for it. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | identi.ca: adamwfedora http://www.happyassassin.net _______________________________________________ Anaconda-devel-list mailing list Anaconda-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/anaconda-devel-list
