With the small core - what is easily maintainable This is pretty much how it already works. The installer environment is a minimal Fedora environment. There's a console at ctrl-alt-f2 if you need one. > 4. Separate the installation parts to different spoke modules. Eg.

There is a 'driver disk' feature in anaconda, though it may have gotten broken over the last couple of releases. An interactive spoke for it is kind of a neat idea, I guess. > On desktop, I think we should offer an desktop customization directly > as we start after question "Would you like to set your final > customization?" the settings panel with tiny description window as "We > open for you the control center where you can finish your desktop > customization if you wish, if you say here later, you can call the > control center/settings panel any time with .... and thank you for > selected Fedora XX codename.". That's really kind of outside the scope of the installer. -- 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
