Does anyone know if they are going to Expand the installer to allow
setting of the configuration for some packages before the install
starts instead of using generic settings.
That would be a nice addition, esp. if these configs coudl be read from
some form of removable or network media.
An example would be the installation of PHP 5.0.4. There are a number
of switches in the ./configure that usually need to be adjusted fro
the current default install.
As Fedora is now, it is my understanding that such a feature is
impossible. What you would like to do would have to be done at compile
time. Fedora however is installed from binaries.
If would be nice to be able to turn on mysql support, gd support or
turn off certain switches. As it stands now it is a MAJOR pain in
the butt to change these things after the initial install. Unless I
am missing something it is not that simple to change these
configurations. You have to go through some MAJOR hoops just to
change those switches because PHP and Apache2 are not installed in
any manner similar to what is shown on the websites for those packages.
I may be wrong, but that is what packages such as php-mysql. They ad
these modulular functionality to the PHP install.
If someone has an easier way to change the php configure switches
without having to reinstall apache2 and php5 AFTER doing an FC4
install I would appreciate hearing about it.
