The Ubuntu installer does let you use a NFS root for your installation source. On the point of needing something more complex, such as LVM or full disk encryption, that's what we offer our alternate CD installer (debian-installer) for. I'm not challenging your point that the Fedora installer offers more complex options. I just wanted to clarify our approach, as our users are not screwed in these circumstances, we just clearly separate their use cases to different CDs. -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
