hardly.
here,
Sure. But this is devel list. Are developers themselves the target audience?
:) Hopefully not. Is it defined somewhere?
I would certainly enjoy the polished user interface that normal users require.
Yes, it would be helpful know to know the userbase better, but I would
hazard a guess that the percentage of non IT related people _installing_
fedora is a tiny fraction of the userbase. I don't think that is unique
to linux, not many mac/windows users have seen the osx/windows installer
either.
I would suggest then the point of the installer (vs just a random disk
image, or pre-installed machine) is to give the user choices about the
systemm behavior, be that the partitioning, DE, system services, etc.
Sure having a streamlined "just do it" mode is helpful, but its a
shortcomming of the installer if the first thing I have to do with a
newly installed machine is reverse a lot of the defaults it set. Sadly I
find myself doing this more and more with fedora, as i'm not given the
choice to not to use zram, or avoid starting iscsi, I have to manually
disable those things. So, while zram and iscsi have their place, its not
in my environment.
for that, a simple password option is more than sufficient.
again, why not simply 'leave it be'.
To make it clear, I agree. Unix/Linux has always been about options and
flexibility. And hence having option to pull the root's existing public key
somewhere easier is just good progress.
