Does that mean that > with F21, we will no longer need the step of rpm -e biosdevname? For a fresh Fedora 21 install with a normal package set, yes, you will no longer need to remove it, as it won't be installed. Systems upgraded from older releases that have biosdevname will continue to have it, of course, and it is still present in the repositories and can be manually installed or included in a kickstart. > The term "more or less" seems a bit unclear. It was just a hedge for the point above: the package does still exist and can be manually installed, and systems being upgraded will continue to use it if they were before. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
