That sounds like a good compromise. The Final Release Criteria doesn't state we need the release notes on the *installed* system, it uses the phrasing "on the image" https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_21_Final_Release_Criteria#Release_notes So, yes, this is possible, but to make it happen we need to generate PDFs for the release notes, and get rel-eng to put them on the media itself. Just one thing: next time please use "reply to all" to reply on-list so other people can see your message too. Is this compromise (putting PDF files in the directory on the media instead of in the live system itself) acceptable for everyone? -- -Elad Alfassa. -- docs mailing list docs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/docs
