Hi guys, Every time I wanna install fedora from the netinst iso, I have to find a fedora mirror, I have to find one that is close, fast. I also have to browse through its directories and try to guess which path does anaconda require (i.e. should I paste the path for the os or the i386 or iso ... etc folders). Of course I do get it running ultimately, however, things could be much easier! Suggested user experience: - User boots netinst ISO - Anaconda boots, queries some server for a "mirrorlist" - Pings mirrors to locate a bunch of close mirrors - Somehow (now idea how) gets the load of those mirrors and chooses a lightly loaded mirror - Presents the user a menu (text or GUI) of systems that can be installed (F9 i386, F9 x86_64, F8 i386, rawhide ... etc) - Once a choice is made, the system is installed with all the recent updated rpms (from updates) (This functionality already exists, right?) Does any of this makes sense ?
Or even better it uses aria2c to download from a number of them simultaneously! -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
