I lived under the impression that Workstation netinst only offers you Workstation package set by default, and Server netinst the Server package set. That was my major concern, not partitioning layout. But I tried it again today, and I see all package sets on both images. So I was clearly wrong. The partitioning setup on Everything netinst seems to me to be actually the best universal choice for any use case (it's not the intended setup for any flavor, yes, but still better than e.g. having a Workstation with Server partitioning layout, or vice versa). For Workstation users, the only case where you need to install from Everything netinst is when a) your hardware can't boot Workstation Live b) Workstation netinst has optical boot broken c) you can't boot from USB. That's such an edge case, that I don't think it's a problem to have a different partitioning setup. It's a last resort help and you can be expected to manually setup the partitioning differently if you don't like the universal one. For Server, you'll need to use Everything netinst if a) both Server DVD and Server netinst have optical boot broken b) you can't boot from USB or PXE (or some of those remote CDROM methods). Since Server people are more technical, I hope setting up a custom layout (if the universal one doesn't fit) is not such a big problem. The most likely use case here goes to KDE (or any of the non-release-blocking spins). If your hardware can't boot KDE Live or the image has its optical boot broken, your immediate next choice is Everything netinst. And in this case, the universal partition layout is again better than e.g. if you booted Server netinst. So after considering this, I'd still like to keep Everything netinst as the universal fallback if the flavored images have their optical boot broken. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org
