Ummm... there's a problem, though: by doing it during firstboot you look the user out of his machine till the download is completed... for slow modem users this might be a problem. (Especially down the line, when you'll have 1GB of updates to download...) In theory, you could break pup/pirut into front-end/back-end and let firstboot start a background upgrade process; once the user logs-in, he can use the front-end to check the status of the download process. Sound like a do-able solution for FC6... Gilboa -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
