=Comment: #0================================================= Emily J. Ratliff <ratliff.com> - 1. Feature Overview: Feature Id: [201679] a. Name of Feature: Change list of Anaconda network alternatives to indicate supported devices on System z b. Feature Description Anaconda gives the user an equal choice between four types of network devices to use (ctc, iucv, qeth, lcs) even though the Install Guide states that two of those options (ctc, netuicv) are deprecated. This increases the chance for unexperienced users to choose the wrong type of network. The choice should explicitly state, which options are deprecated and they should only be chosen by the user, if he knows that they are necessary e.g. due to a specific hardware configuration. The corresponding architecture specific installation documentation should be updated accordingly. RHEL 6.0 request: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=462973 2.
