Before submitting an RFE, I thought I would bring this up for discussion
here.
For many years I have been a big fan of kickstart installs with large
kickstart files with everything to be installed specified. Recently, I
have had the opportunity to use live installs and am impressed with what
they can do and how they basically work.
My thinking is to change the way I am doing things with kickstart
installs and instead do a small live install followed by a post install
script/procedure to install the rest of the software. I already use a
post install script to load rpmfusion stuff I want installed.
Currently there are three things that discourage, if not outright
prohibit, using a live-install/post-install approach where ha limited
kickstart definition would help:
1. network --hostname fedora
2. bootloader --boot-drive=sda
3. Definition of disks, partitions and filesystems. This is the biggie.
What are the chances that this would be considered as an RFE? I have
not looked at the code so I do not know if I want to tackle this
myself. Also, there is the fedora.next and Fedora Atomic Initiative
going on and I do not know how they would/will impact things.
If this functionality was implementd it /s possible that it should be
done with different specificat/on than "kickstart" so that some user
does not expect full kickstart functionality in a live install.
Comments?
