It would be wise. Why I should waste a time by waiting when installation ends, if I can do something useful in process? Firstboot is a way to do something, that was missed during installation, so we definately should move this action to installation process. This will makes a way to ready-to-use state much shorter. > b) anaconda is a very bit of complicated code. Removing things like > user addition and such makes it a lot easier to deal with. Silly argument. Complexity is a reason to find a way to overcome, rather than go away. ;) -- With best regards, Sergey Podushkin | Ð ÑÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐ, ÐÐÑÐÐÐ ÐÐÐÑÑÐÐÐ phone: +7 906 955-22-51 | ÑÐÐ. +7 906 955-22-51 http://www.abbris.ru -- marketing mailing list marketing@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing
