hello
This is an issue i am seeing with new users:
I was at a University installfest this weekend and this was the major
issues for Endusers.
case A) Students are using Fedora on windows in a VM (Vbox in this
case) for a class. they are required for said class to install the
guest additions. they are constantly running into errors that the
guest addidions will not build (there install does not have
kernel-devel install. They used the F26 release so now have the
release kernel and so they install sudo dnf install kernel-devel and
still have issues (kernel and kernel-devel versions do not match).
Case B) third party video or wireless driver same issue no
kernel-devel, no wireless no internet == fix by sneakernet
Both of these issues can be easily fixed by including kernel-devel in
a group or by adding kernel-devel to all the Desktop Environment
kickstarts.
Including kernel-devel will add lots of stuff (e.g. gcc) which are
needed to compile something. Which, I think won't happen. kernel -
kernel-devel version mismatch is something that happens a lot, so maybe
something should be done for that.
To me this simple fix will help our new users and will not leave such
a unfriendly feeling (and hopeful increase our contributor base down
the road)
