To say that this was not supported is also reasonable. Not covered by this. If everyone wanted to cover it, it would be a fairly obvious amendment. Thoughts? > 2.

We already have criteria for both OS X and Windows dual boot. We've already agreed minor changes to them earlier in the cycle. See https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_21_Final_Release_Criteria#Windows_dual_boot and https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_21_Final_Release_Criteria#OS_X_dual_boot . > And then there is linux16/initrd16 versus 32 bit linux/initrd.

I'd say that's out of scope for this discussion. FWIW, though, I haven't been able to divine a specific reason yet, but upstream seems to consider the 16-bit loader to be 'legacy', whatever that means. -- 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
