I'm not complaining; I understand that 5 CDs (with > the 5th already well over half full) is a bit much, but there's another > 3G+ of stuff in Extras that it would be nice to install without having > to download each time, and you can't do that with FC5 or FC6T1. FWIW, the backend support is actually present in test1 for multiple repositories and you can do it from kickstart. The big things still outstanding are * UI to configure this for the !kickstart case -- this should happen before test2 * The ability to handle multiple _CD_ repositories -- this is trickier due to the fact that the installer is running off of the CD and we'd need to have that image somewhere else. I expect there won't be a _full_ answer here for FC6, but maybe for people with "enough" RAM, it'll be doable Jeremy -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
