Re: [CentOS-devel] LiveCD suggestion

As far as I have seen while being in #centos, most beginners' questions (in the context of netinstall) were more or less similar to "what should I put in the 'mirror' and 'path' fields ?". Can we patch anaconda so as to prepopulate those two without overloading any particular mirrors (maybe using somehow the output of mirrorlist ) ?

I swear I have always wished for this, Fedora does this now so there is likely no technical reason a static pointer to the mirror list can't be used unless a 'list' requires a newer version of Anaconda. The only downside to using a static url would be all the netinstall's pointing to the same mirror.

One of the reasons I always make sure I have a kickstart available to avoid all that typing...
