Not very relevant to larger idea of a derived distro which might very
well be a good thing to try but we dont run updatedb cron by default for
a while now.
Well, I'm aware of that, but the script is still installed with tons of
other stuff that we don't need on a modern desktop [1]. There's so many
things we have right now that we don't need in a desktop distro.
For example, the very idea of using anaconda to install the OS is just
wrong in 2006. The way you want to do this (and Ubuntu is doing this
already) is clearly to have a bootable CD with a "Install OS to hard
disk" icon that does what you want. Nothing more, nothing less.
They do have a traditional style installer too. I was discussing the
Live CD with installer option in fedora-livecd list and Jeremy Katz
didnt appear too keen on it. However I completely agree with you on
having this atleast as a option. If we have enough people willing to do
a Fedora Desktop derivative, then lets just do that. We are going down
that path of enabling such things to happen anyway.
