As Dimi Paun just shared his thoughts about anaconda, here is what i'm
dreaming of for anaconda.
What I found sad in anaconda during the installation process is the
permanent showing of our brand new logo for about 20 min, while anaconda
is copying files. We had in previous version of FC, texts ta

I realize why it's done this way, my comment
was from a user's perspective. We do have the
graphical splash at bootloader time, would it
be so risky to have it at boot time as well?

Hi Jeremy,
Just wanted to share a few thoughts about anaconda,
while fresh in my mind (I've managed to install FC5
last night).
First impression: anaconda really rocks! This is a
very solid, pleasant installer.
I do have a few _minor_ points that I think would
make it a bit nicer to use:
