I must say that the whole Fedora 12 process and the result has been a
pleasure. It has been so much a pleasure that I plan on being a day zero (or
more likely a day minus <whatever>) installer/user of Fedora 12 x86_64 on my
production systems.
One thing I noticed that tells me that RC-3 is not the final release version is
that when I did the install from a physical DVD, there was no install-time
option to add an "updates" repository and/or a base repository. Thus, I did
not have the option to install packages not on the DVD itself. I have found
the ability to install with updates and with an everything repository (really
the same as rawhide/development at this point) to be very useful.
Has this "feature" been dropped or is this simply a characteristic of the fact
I am using the RC-3 DVD?
It is no big deal to add additional packages post basic install but it is a
nice feature and I hope the real final candidate (real GA version) will have
the ability of adding additional repositories.
