So what you're saying is you'd like either anaconda to also be a rescue image, or the rescue image to also do upgrades. The former, quite a few people have been doing just fine for years. The latter is silly -- if we made the rescue image do upgrades, it'd be duplicating large chunks of anaconda, and then it'd be painful to use as an actual rescue image. Now, certainly it'd be better of some parts of anaconda were separate tools, but that's a separate discussion. -- Peter -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
