Bug jeremy about it. :) We've talked about it a few times, but there was never a compelling reason to make the switch to XML. There were always more important things to work on. My guess is that he'll tell you that there's more than enough installer work to get it ready for the 2.6 kernel to consider this now. But this probably belongs more on anaconda-devel-list, since the installer would have to change first. Then we could look at changing redhat-config-kickstart. Cheers, Brent
