I kind of like this as an idea! My only concern is that people will use this to do ftp installs off the mirrors - which is a bad as yum really.
Anyone who is going to prefer an ftp install from a public mirror already has the ability to pull the modest sized boot.iso or the rescuecd and go to town. The smart monkeys, like me, will make sure they have a local mirror to pull from (nfs installs rock!). All this does is make it easier for people who do not have a dvd writer to do something useful with as minimum of effort as necessary without resorting to attempting a live upgrade via yum. With additional options in the grub entry vnc can be enabled and this could even be a viable upgrade/re-install path for people with headless or remote installs... the people who currently reach for yum when they shouldn't. -jef"Never ever does a network install/upgrade from a mirror across the public network due to concerns over network reliability for the length of the install time"spaleta -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
