== Summary == The new PatternFly-based UI has been developed by the Anaconda team for some time now and we would like to make it available for users of Fedora to enhance and modernize installation experience. As the first step in this user adoption process, we are targeting Fedora Workstation only.
One thing not mentioned: what does this do to the install image size, especially for network booting?
It won't do anything to the network install image size for the present, because it won't be used for it - only for the Workstation live.
AIUI it shouldn't make the Workstation live any larger, because it's being run through Firefox, which is on the Workstation live already.
When this does get applied to the network install image it will likely have to make it a bit bigger, though it is a bit complicated. The current images actually already have a web engine in them - webkitgtk, as backing for yelp, to display anaconda's current help pages. Since the new UI also comes with a new help system which is not yelp-based, I think we'll actually end up effectively trading out webkitgtk and trading in firefox, hopefully, unless something else drags in webkitgtk somehow. So it's *possible* the change won't be huge, unless I'm missing something.
