Except when you can't actually get to the desktop or use the update tool
because it's the F10 version that doesn't work with the rest of the F11
content. If you've waited a while and have newer F10 packages than
what's on the F11 media you'll have a system in a fragile undefined
state.
Ahh...I'm confused. How do you get to this state? It sounds like
something preupgrade could handle in any case.
Let me take a step back - here's all I'm trying to say: The user
experience of the live images is way better than anaconda-the-OS, and
we should be sure users who don't explicitly want a
choose-your-own-adventure are getting the live images. Especially
from things like trade shows.
How is the "minimal image" not a choose your own adventure?
The minimal image is a targeted product in the sense that it's
intended for people to build higher-level products on, like virtual
machine appliances and the like. We wouldn't expect people to take
the minimal image and then try to convert it into a desktop
workstation.
