FC5 Target? "Show version number in install", i.e. not just "Fedora Core", but "Fedora Core 5"
The thing that's difficult is that we don't even set this sort of information until the tree is done. eg, we don't say that something is test1 until after it's been blessed as such by being through testing. Similarly, RC builds become the final. So it's not entirely obvious that we can really do this in a reasonable fashion :/
Can't /etc/fedora-release be displayed prominently instead? Or maybe a graphical tagline be generated from it?
This is a fairly easy feature which would be welcomed by sysadmins of RHEL clusters.
Ack. Ignore my last comment. Will Fedora Core 6 have the ability to show "Fedora Core 6" more prominantly during the install?
We aren't about to show the Fedora version number mainly because that's not well-defined anywhere except at the project level. What we have added is more prominent version information for anaconda. We show the anaconda version when stage 2 loads and in the exception report window.
