Nominating as NTH - the presence of the checkbox is a bit confusing, it implies things about anaconda's behaviour which are not at present true, and it does nothing. Personally I think the ideal thing to do would be to have such a checkbox, but default to NOT downloading updates (since most people who aren't concerned about the extra bandwidth of downloading full updates as opposed to using presto would probably use the netinst instead). Many people using the DVD have low bandwidth, order the DVD instead of downloading, and want to keep their updates as small as possible. Of course, if there isn't time to fix the checkbox, I agree with Adam that it should be scrapped, at least for now. Should add that it seems inconsistent to me to 1) install yum-presto by default in order to save bandwidth on updates, but 2) have the DVD installer bypass it by downloading full updates directly. I think the Fedora community should decide how big of an issue bandwidth is for its users (and the mirrors), and then set the default in both places consistently. +1 NTH. The install media should install what is on the media by default, with a selector box that says something like "also download updates". Positive verbiage instead of negative (when told "dont do this" it is a negative connotation.) The box can be auto-selected or not, does not make much difference. If the box is present, it MUST do something different checked vs unchecked. +1 NTH Discussed at 2012-12-21 blocker review meeting: http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-bugzappers/2012-12-21/f18final-blocker-review-7.2012-12-21-18.33.log.txt . Accepted as NTH - displaying features that do nothing is confusing and unfriendly. dracut-024-17.git20121220.fc18, anaconda-18.37.7-1.fc18 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 18. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2012-20838/dracut-024-17.git20121220.fc18,anaconda-18.37.7-1.fc18 Confirmed that the updates checkbox is gone in smoke11 (both DVD and netinst). smoke11 (anaconda-18.37.7-1, fedora-release-1): http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/qa/20121221_f18-smoke11/ dracut-024-17.git20121220.fc18, anaconda-18.37.8-1.fc18 has been pushed to the Fedora 18 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. |
