I don't know why anaconda can't run the rescue mode when launched from a Live OS environment. There are some ideas to make install media with separate Live OS and Install boot menu entries. There'd be a Live OS to use Fedora in a volatile environment (perhaps one day make persistence an option out of the box). But you'd reboot and choose a separate installation option that would be a non-Live desktop, or kiosk mode, environment for the installer to run in dedicated fashion. In this case the installer's rescue option could be used, and run through the discovery logic to assemble the installed system. -- Chris Murphy _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
