I think inst was meant to be universal so that debian etc could use it. However I will say if I have to type 20 anaconda.<item>=<flag> on a serial terminal like I have to for the inst.<item>=<flag> I will quickly be looking for any other installer to use. I regularly end up with enough redraw problems because the line went over whatever SOL or the HTML-console thinks a line should be and clearing the entire line so I can't see what I am typing. -- Stephen J Smoogen. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
