It won't do anything to the network install image size for the present,
because it won't be used for it - only for the Workstation live.
AIUI it shouldn't make the Workstation live any larger, because it's
being run through Firefox, which is on the Workstation live already.
When this does get applied to the network install image it will likely
have to make it a bit bigger, though it is a bit complicated. The
current images actually already have a web engine in them - webkitgtk,
as backing for yelp, to display anaconda's current help pages. Since
the new UI also comes with a new help system which is not yelp-based, I
think we'll actually end up effectively trading out webkitgtk and
trading in firefox, hopefully, unless something else drags in webkitgtk
somehow. So it's *possible* the change won't be huge, unless I'm
missing something.
Yes, that is correct. We did some simple testing (might be
inaccurate)
and the size increase was around +40MB size. However, as said this is
not true for Live image which should be almost the same size.
