Thanks Aly,

I will dig into it to see what I can discover.

Looks to be an exciting distro.

Cheers,
Lonnie :)

Lonnie,

Start with taking the Fedora distro and installing it from disks via the GUI and that will allow you to discover the install system, Fedora's installer is Anaconda (http://fedora.redhat.com/projects/anaconda-installer/) so you can check out that too.
If you start with installing the distro via anaconda from the disks that would be a good start to see how it works (install-wise)


    Cheers,

Hello All,

I have been an avid Linux user for a long time now, but must say that I have been using Mandrake most of that time. That was because I thought that it was a little more cutting-edge than Red Hat. Now it seems that the price of that cutting edge was that things do not always work as good as you would like.

Anyway, I am very eager to try Fedora and see if it is more stable and compatible with various other applications.

I would like to know if someone could either tell me some of the specifics, or direct me to some documentation on the Fedora installer. I want to learn how things are done.

For example I would like to know where in the Stage2.img is the list of install types and install messages that you see when it is running.

I would like to see what file Fedora uses to define what the "minimal" install is, or "Server" install list of packages because I need the absolute smallest install + XWindows and the smallest (simplest) window manager.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks,
Lonnie
