* NTFS support during installation
there should be NTFS support built in to anaconda so that ntfs
partitions are automatically recognized and added to /etc/fstab - and
that users are given an option to make them read-only or to be mounted
in read-write mode.
That's debatable - some users don't want the extra bloat. I think this
should be an easily-installable option. Right now, it comes pretty close
- all you do is "yum install ntfs-3g" and you're pretty much done.
IMHO, ready-to-use (or easier-to-set-up) Samba server would be a lot
more useful.
* Firefox to have it's original icon in gnome panel
the icon fedora uses makes me search for firefox icon all the time. I
guess that I'm not the only one. Firefox has one of the most
recognisable icons I have ever seen and simply don't see why fedora
uses non-firefox icon. It just confuses users.
This is done because users are not forced to stay with one browser. In
essence, this shortcut says "start my favorite browser", not "start
firefox" - so it can't really have a firefox icon. You can customize it
all you want, though.
* Desktop shortcut for joining Fedora IRC (aka "Get Live Help")
Fedora is about freedom+communication, right? Why not make this
statement more that just a nice slogan. If you installed saabyon linux
you could experienced for yourself what this really means. I as a new
user to gentoo (sabayon is based on gentoo) was really blown away with
this feature. It is really, really simple to implement and gives a
real meaning to a communication friendly linux distro.
In sabayon link to their IRC chat has a simple name "Get Live Help"
and it work fabulous! I didn't have any Portage experience so I poped
in IRC chat room and was on my way after I got quick help. Whis kind
of help was precious to me and would love to see it in fedora as one
of it's main features and not just as a slogan.

Completely agree, would be a great help.
