Anaconda-Kickstart is more than just about packaging. It's about complete automation of the entire pre-/post-install process. When you are deploying 100 systems, the network boot/install process with non-interactive install is _mandatory_. It's been almost 7 years since I've _ever_ installed RHL/FC/RHEL from media. 98% of those have been NFS-based installs, the other 2% were copied .isos to a spare drive/partition. Well over half those were TFTP boots, while others were either floppy (pre-2.6), USB dongle or mini-CD (not the whole #1 CD). I.e., if I'm not using a Kickstart, I'm booting the installer with "askmethod" anyway. I mean, the last time I did a full media install, it was Red Hat Linux 7. It's how I've personally (and professionally) installed thousands of RHL/FC/RHEL systems. > If I was to pick out something really visible to me personally, it > would be Firefox 2 and Thunderbird 2. I install them under /usr/local/lib/name-ver and symlink to firefox2/thunderbird2 right now. Works much better and co-exists with the official firefox/thunderbird packages. -- Bryan J.
