hard it is to remotely upgrade a server because of that? I used
preupgrade on one of my systems, upgraded it, then rebooted to complete
the upgrade and wham. No connectivity to finish it. I had to come into
the office, hook the crash cart to it and finish the upgrade like it was
my desktop system. I'm all for making linux more 'user' friendly, but
doing so by crippling those of us who use it as a server is insane.
I'm really tired of this thread. I've said what I wanted to say, not
that it changes anything, but it does make me feel better.
I think the Server SIG is probably a very good opportunity for you to
contribute to Fedora and help yourself and others who share your
interests in seeing a more server tailored install process.
