[fedora-india] Sorry State of Affairs with F11 Installer

[Ashwin Mansinghka]

Excuse for the top post.

+1

I introduced myself to Linux with Redhat 6.0 and have used

I share the same feeling, principally one of the reasons which
prevents me to list myself as a Fedora ambassador.

with Regards,
ASHWIN
