Not yet. See my other mail.
Yes, as I wrote, it is now working as designed.
Why is that a problem?
Not a problem if you choose the wording to accommodate users without a
net connection which you already agree with.
Oh okay.
I would prefer we highlight the small boot.iso image for network
installation much more here.
Can you give me some text for that? Honestly the wiki page does a
great job with all of this but I don't want to parrot the whole page.
I want this to be short and simple.
Do that many people really download the boot.iso image and do network
installs?
Many people are simply not aware of it and still think Fedora doesn't
have a network installation feature.
Here is some sample text:
Generic version:
All ISO images of Fedora support a network installation feature which
you can use to install Fedora over a http/ftp/nfs network and can be
controlled remotely using VNC. A small (less than 10 MB) boot.iso image
is available from under the os/images folder in your favorite mirror.
You can access the network installation feature by entering the
"askmethod" option in the boot prompt. Read the Fedora installation
guide (link to http://docs.fedoraproject.org/install-guide/) for more
details.
Alternatively a FC6 specific version:
All ISO images of Fedora support a network installation feature which
you can use to install Fedora over a http/ftp/nfs network and can be
controlled remotely using VNC. A small (7.9 MB) boot.iso image is
available from
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/6/i386/os/images/
or in your favorite mirror. You can access the network installation
feature by entering the "askmethod" option in the boot prompt. Read the
Fedora installation guide (link to
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/install-guide/fc6/en/sn-alt-install-method.html)
for more details.
Great, I'll add this in! Thanks!!
Shouldn't we have a good page explaining the differences between
different spins and what target they serve in this page?
I have no idea what the differences are between the different spins, I
don't even know what they are at this point. If you think this is
really important, can you point me to or draft some text to explain it?
Thinking about this we're going to be making it very difficult for
someone to just click a link and download what they want. Maybe the
download page should be refactored for each of the different spins?
And link directly?
Yep. Don't worry about this for now for the FC6 pages. I will write
about the different spins before Fedora 7 release.
Okay thanks!
