(at least I do :) ) One addition that will come in Fedora 9 (I don't think it made it into F8 but I could be wrong) is that anaconda, the installer, will be able to use the mirrorlist directly. This will avoid the user having to type in a URL for their country at all - it will be automagic based on GeoIP, just like the updates are. > And a question to Mike, was that picture auto generated or generated by hand? Jef Spaleta and Jima have been working on auto-generating these maps. http://fedoraproject.org/maps/ for examples. There's code in the Fedora admin git tree for them.
