In addition to that note, if you were suggesting the bootloader screen during installer startup should be graphical, it is non-graphical in both the install images and installed Fedora systems for practical reasons. We made it graphical for one release, and weren't really happy with the results; it causes far more problems than just using non-graphical, console mode. (We had systems which did not display graphical grub properly, and systems on which it was very, very slow.) -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net _______________________________________________ Anaconda-devel-list mailing list Anaconda-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/anaconda-devel-list
