If you're talking about on-disk layouts, see Windows and OS X which have 2-4 possible layouts, compared to anaconda's hundreds. And their installers have essentially zero bugs, I'll argue as a direct result of lack of superfluous features appeasing partition ninjas (who as yet aren't ninja enough to just do all of that stuff on the command line in advance - but hey happy days with blivet-gui you can have the best of both almost). If you're talking about live media pre-baking things you may not like, that's not coming from the installer team. They'd prefer to get rid of live media because the install environment can be made non-deterministic the longer its used before an installation starts, so troubleshooting it is harder. I think you're just better off using netinstall media for your described use case. -- Chris Murphy -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
