I'm not asking for new features, only fixes. We can't really do this easily. Making a new anaconda means making new first and second stage images, which means making new CD and DVD images, which means a huge headache for mirrors and for keeping track of all these versions of images floating around. One thing we can look into is the possibility of providing an updates.img from time to time that rolls up fixes, but this has its own set of problems. Doing something like that will make debugging in the future much harder because we'll have to ask people what updates they might be using in their installation when they report bugs. I can just see all sorts of problems resulting from that. The installer is special. - Chris -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
