Well, it certainly good to see things finally moving also outside of the Anaconda proper. :) >The Workstation WG has approved the general idea of > reducing redundancy between gnome-initial-setup and Anaconda, but has > not reviewed this proposal yet either, because I just typed it up an > hour ago, so at this point it's just me brainstorming.

Wouldn't it just be enough for g-i-s to parse the user interaction config files and hide it's own corresponding screens accordingly ? I can see the screen mapping might not be 100% the same as in Anaconda/Initial Setup, but I'm not sure yet another configuration file is the answer.

IIRC there have even been some inquiries from the fedora design team if the banner could be made bigger (as even with the two spokes there is quite some unused space) so I guess this could be done in the same scope. > > So we'd appreciate your feedback on this proposal.
