What filesystem, what partition layout, what packages, what kernel scheduler, what ...? This will not ease the use of this distribution, so a lot of things already have default settings. Depending on your experience you can modify a lot of this default values before and during installation (kickstart), but is this something the standard user should care about. As I already said, you can change all default settings if you are a professional and you probably will change a lot of default settings if you are a professional. I use autoupdate in our environments as well but point it to my own managed repositories. But this is not a god approach for the standard user and that is the case we are talking about when talking about default settings. Rgards Thomas > > Vince > -- Linux ... enjoy the ride!
