Having solved the "problem" of not having a working local rawhide repo, I finally got a chance to try an install tonight. [The problem was that the mirror I had been mirroring stopped reflecting the images directory and other necessary bits of rawhide.] 1) I like the "look 'n feel" of the installer now, much more responsive and better looking. Still the dull grey color scheme, but getting better. 2) The install ultimately failed due to a missing piece in the images (a missing cracklib dictionary BZ 426444) 3) The installer wastes a significant amount of resources to resize a logical volume despite the fact that the "resized" lv is marked for reformatting anyway. [BZ 426466] The new horizontal bouncer seems to eat a lot of CPU time during the unneeded fsck that took place too. It may be "too cute for words." 4) The installer does not "automagically" enable the network adapter it used to load anaconda from a NFS repo anymore. You have to manually check on the activate-on-boot box. [BZ 426473] 5) It is ridiculous to immediately commit partitioning and format filesystems rather than to defer the formatting much later in the install. [BZ 426474] The user has no time to reconsider partitioning on the basis of software selections, and subsequent errors (e.g. BZ426444) or dependency hell leave the target system in an unuseable state. The Anaconda Team deserves kudos for the rapid pace of recent improvements and the updated look and feel, but some significant holes have been left exposed. -- Wolfe
