it sound like it is not open to discussion). There was no real
justification for the change in the announcement, except for a vague
"better security" bit. That will almost always cause a negative
response from people that disagree.

Also, always quoting the variable is good programming practice; it could

That would be nice. Another useful option would be
used during install (config file modification
times, RPM database has package install times, etc.), and it is dumb
that the installer essentially treats these as random numbers.
At a minimum, the installer should at least _show_ what it thinks the
time is after setting the timezone.

m both alpha and beta;
is there going to be any requirement for a functional rescue mode for
this release? That's a pretty critical thing to have completely missing
from a release; things that occasionally happen such as a broken boot
loader would render an install virtually unrecoverable f
ed to
read-only in the filesystem package (haven't seen any notice/discussion
about that, but maybe I missed it).
The other issue would be: why is google-chrome-unstable (wherever you
are getting that from) packaing the /usr/bin directory? It shouldn't do
that.

ability to set an equivalent for "next-server" for PXE booting, but I
don't think the PXE stacks support v6 anyway, so it's a moot point.

That's what I used to do, but it didn't work for me with F16 and GRUB2.
I get a warning that I shouldn't install GRUB2 to a partition and then
an error about there not being en
lieve; doesn't grub uses the
BIOS to access the drive(s)? If so, I think BIOS-RAID (and of course
hardware RAID) should be transparent and work fine.
Old-grub also didn't support newer Linux-md metadata formats, so that
should be explicitly mentioned (I don't know about grub2).
