It's not really starting from scratch in this case, though, as we're leveraging a lot of the work that has had to be done for anaconda. As with system-config-packages before it, pirut has largely been driven by UI and other decisions made for anaconda so that we can provide a consistent interface around software selection during and after the installation process. > The current development release of yumex 0.99.9, currently in > extras-development, is in good shape and works in both > FC4 and rawhide. (and in RHEL 4 (with yum 2.4.x & CentOS 4.2) I think that yumex is great and provides what a lot of people are looking for, but at the same time, don't think that it provides the experience that we're looking to provide as a part of the installer, etc Jeremy -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
