Changes in Anaconda * Many minor user interface changes: * Ability to select the boot drive * Advanced storage options, including the ability to add an iSCSI target and disable dmraid devices * The time zone page includes a magnification slider to zoom into different areas of the world when choosing location * Improved Live images support * Ability to install from Live image running from RAM or USB stick * Improved IEEE-1394 (Firewire) support * Improved installation for Sony PlayStation 3 * French keyboard layout uses latin9 * Improved kickstart installation * Use of /dev/hdX is deprecated on i386 and and x86_64 for IDE drives, and has changed to /dev/sdX except on PPC.
