The OP had to drop back to a netinstall when he had a bad experience
with the KDE spin. If there are some problems with a spin, certainly
the responsible SIG can work on solving that. But in thinking about
the reporter's comments about finding netinstall: perhaps it would
make sense for the spin site to include an unobtrusive pointer to
Workstation or Server netinstall ISO. This might be analogous to the
Other Downloads section found on the Server and Workstation download
pages. Thoughts?
I don't think it makes sense for individual spins to point to the
netinstalls: the spins sites set up an expectation you're going to get a
specific spin, and the netinstall doesn't do that for you without
additional work.
What I think might work:
- Create a nice & cleanly-designed image listing on top of something
like download.fpo or alt.fpo with images like netinstalls or DVDs or the
minimal image that aren't specifically tied to a specific Fedora edition
/ spin / lab, but are more generically "Fedora."
- Link to this generic download site in the common footers on all of
these sites, and give a hint/tip about it in the downloads area of the
edition / spin / lab sites as appropriate.
I do think the level of prominence of the netinstall images makes sense
on the workstation page despite the fact they are not tightly coupled
(people had been going to the server page to get netinstall images to
install workstation before we added those links IIRC.) I don't know that
netinstall images specifically need that level of prominence on the
spins download pages. What I'd recommend there instead is just a simple
link, "Looking for other options to install Fedora?" or something like that.
Does that make sense?
