All preupgrade/yum upgrades? If people are force to use the DVD for upgrade cases then something is seriously wrong I personally dont advocate the use of preupgrade but rather advises users to keep seperated /home it just subscribing to headache if the upgrade fails If we official support "upgrading" then I would expect that. . . . A) being able to upgrade from cli via yum upgrade/preugrade B) from the DE enviroment I was in via some application preupgrade/packagekit C) Do it from Live media D) Do it from the Installer And I know for a fact that the only thing that gets tested at QA is preupgrade itself not various upgrade paths for example from a various Live media minimal install and a full blown everything install etc.. > How will people do installs with different needs than the live media > provides? netinstall? > If the live media and the installer could coexist on the iso image they would have to do minimal install and continue from there that is if no *DE image is not good enough for them. > One final question here... why is this going to the Board? > Isn't this a more technical detail that would be suited for FESCo to > decide?

Should not FESCO decide the Multi Desktop DVD then as well? _______________________________________________ advisory-board mailing list advisory-board@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/advisory-board
