Most of these should be unnecessary for SoaS.  * By default, liveinst tries to create a complicated partition layout   using LVM + swap + boot + root. Just root should be enough on any   computer which can already boot SoaS just fine from USB. </pre> </blockquote> <pre wrap=""> Both of these points can be swapped out by providing the liveinst command (or was it the anaconda one? liveinst calls anaconda, so that should work anyway) with a kickstart file in which such things might be predefined. If this is something we really want, I could probably look into it as part of my GSoC, I guess. </pre> <blockquote type="cite"> <pre wrap=""> * After installation, firstboot bothers the user with more silly   questions. The firstboot package could probably be uninstalled. </pre> </blockquote> <pre wrap=""> Either that or branded and made more useful - it used to provide the ability to do the keyboard selection before logging in which I think is pretty sane, but apparently this got ripped out by upstream because of some regressions a couple of releases ago. So in its current state, I guess you're right. </pre> <blockquote type="cite"> <pre wrap=""> * No automatic login after installation. You get GDM and you have to   key-in a password, which is very un-sweet :-/ </pre> </blockquote> <pre wrap=""> We could throw that in the kickstart file, too. </pre> <blockquote type="cite"> <pre wrap=""> * After installation, sudo does not work out of the box. (this is one   of the major annoyances of Fedora, it should be fixed upstream too) </pre> </blockquote> <pre wrap=""> It doesn't work on the live image out of the box either, from what I recall. You've got a point there, but this is indeed one of Fedora's decisions as upstream. </pre> <blockquote type="cite"> <pre wrap="">I'll follow up with additional comments as we deploy SoaS on more computers and collect feedback from more formadores. </pre> </blockquote> <pre wrap=""> Thank you!
