Hi, We've gotten some feedback on the new get.fpo design and I think there are a couple of major mistakes in the design (and I take full responsibility for them): - completely lack of live usb documentation - we link to archives but we don't link to torrents, mirrors, etc etc etc Attached is a patch that adds instructions for liveusb to the main page, and swaps out the archives link in the right sidebar to an 'advanced users' link that points to get-fedora-all which has a lot of the links that the more technical folks are complaining aren't there. I've also attached a screenshot so you can see what some of these changes look like. Let me know if there's any issues with this patch. I think that it's worth applying to address the concerns of the more technical users. I also think we should consider dropping the architecture tab at some point. I was going to try to do that in this patch, but it causes a number of other issues that are a bit too hairy to get into at the moment and I wanted to get this patch out ASAP. Thanks, ~m
