I found the "secret" web site that mentioned some of the ideas for
FC6. One of the idea was to have Anaconda use yum. Is there
anywhere that talks about the implementation details for this idea?
I know that the change in to use yum to add or delete rpm in FC5 has
given me an opportunity to learn about the internals of
yum. (management speak for a royal pain.) The systems that I build
and use do not have access to the net even at dial-up rates. (As FC5
point to RH5, I hope that this is not one of the changes that RH is
considering for v5. )
I would hate to think that FC6 would not even install it was
isolated from the net. In fact, I would hope serious discussion and
consideration happening about reversing the thinking in FC5 for
adding and removing packages. This is a good example of on paper
sounds good but fails in practice. I like to be able to add and
remove packages without being connected to the net or having to
having to change between different yum configuration files.
