I frequently use BIOS-only machines which don't have a UEFI boot option - and one of those machines is indeed running Fedora! Certainly, I understand that there are better ways of booting systems now, but for the time being BIOS is still very important.
If the installation media can not install onto BIOS-only machines yet all the bootloader stages support BIOS, then there will be an awkward stage where some existing Fedora installations can be upgraded, but if anything goes wrong it'd be impossible to reinstall them! The lack of a BIOS installer as a fallback would make running Fedora on BIOS-only machines risky enough that it seems to me as no better than removing support entirely. Could I missing something here? Also, one thing that I would be greatly reassured by is a date for removal of BIOS support entirely. This would at least give confidence that is worth installing Fedora on these machines for use in a limited, but known, duration, rather than looking at alternative distributions now. _______________________________________________ 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 Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
