My take is: a freshly- but fully-installed Fedora Server or Fedora Workstation system _shouldn't_ be "unconfigured". It should be basically ready to go. And it's ideal of we can get to that state without asking a litany of questions. For Fedora Server, it may be that "configure your DNS" is actually part of what's expected. But for Fedora Workstation, that's probably not reasonable — lots of laptops which move networks, etc. -- Matthew Miller <mattdm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Fedora Project Leader _______________________________________________ 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
