Hi,
Today I got a nice feature request from an OpenSUSE friend :)
When doing a network installation, it could be useful to have a centos-mirror pre-registered into the installation form so that you do
not need a second system (or a reboot to your previous OS) to look up what the correct mirror address is.
The actual suggestion was to have a pull-down list of mirrors per
country, but with our mirror-setup a single entry would most likely do anyway. Plus it keeps the changes to anaconda down to a minimum !
This maybe something that we could take with us for CentOS 5.2 (and 4.7
and a 3.9 respin ?)
I think a major problem with implementing the above is lack of proxy support in anaconda : https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=141988
