(stunned shock)

But surely the "simple user" is going to be using the graphical
install?

The people who use text mode are those who are doing a custom
install or running on odd hardware and so need the extra options.

And to use kickstart you need to do an install first to test
the release and find out what options you want enabled.


Is it still worth opening a bug with Fedora about this?
Or is it a "management" decision to concerntrate developer
time on other areas?


ps. I'm probably not the best person to preach about this, as
I only have one Fedora install and that it just to see what
might be coming down the line in the next version of RedHat.
