Compared to the current graphically intensive, slow, and extremely confusing "spoke and wheel" model that has next to nothing to do with how the installation is actually done? Especially for low bandwidth remote or virtualized consoles, where getting the full graphical installation working is nightmarish? It's very attractive, indeed. > You started your mail saying "I find my self installing Fedora on many > systems": in that case, use kickstart.

Kickstart has its own unaddressed issues. The storage of the post-inallation interpreted "anaconda-ks.cfg" file, rather than a copy of the actual kickstart file used, is one of them. The limitations of the GUI for creating kickstart files, that creates an entirely distinct output format from the "anaconda-ks.cfg" file and makes differences hard to interpret, is another. That the "anaconda-ks.cfg" file does not store "%post" or "%pre" commands is another. And that the graphical tool for creating kickstart files cannot handle multiple "%pre" or "%post" scripts is yet another. I've personally installed something like 20,000 Red Hat and Fedora based systems, including hardware and software compatibility for new environments and new operating systems. I'm afraid that I have to actively recommend against the current Fedora graphical installer, and encourage people to learn kickstart syntax so they can roll their own scriptable deployment environments. Like the current release of Gnome 3 for default graphical environments, it's added a lot of "conceptual design" that actively impedes normal use. -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
