I hoped to get testing on this after F6 released, and we still can if you're doing network installs. Same can continue through F7, we could even state that you could do this. I don't want to put UI in the installer that we know would break if you're doing a CD install. (UI being a checkbox to enable updates) -- Jesse Keating Release Engineer: Fedora
