Re: Few ideas for Anaconda hub and spoke

[Leslie S Satenstein <lsatenstein@xxxxxxxxx>]

I like the Debian Minimum installation process based on network downloads. The installer is about 300 megs or less, and directs the installation to more than one mirror, so that downloads are not all from one mirror.

Can the LiveCD use that concept, or does it do it already?

Driver disks are not functional in anaconda at the moment.  They should
be in for F19.  I don't know that anyone in Fedora has ever used them or
tested them, though.

Likely, any UI related to driver disks will have to happen before
anaconda proper starts up, though.  Keep in mind we may require storage
or network drivers loaded from them before we can do anything else.
