F29 Gnome Install process - A pain

2018-09-22 Thread Ed Greshko
This will probably be considered a "minor" pain.  And, since I don't use GNOME except in a VM for testing, I guess it is. I'd just like to go on record to say I dislike a few things about the install process. 1.  There is no option to set the hostname during install.  2.  User creation is dela
