Would it be possible to do with anaconda? And I think its better to start out as an unofficial thing, because that tends to garner more testing. If it works out well, then I think it should be possible to be included as part of the +1 release of what the unofficial one was intended for. Suppose it is done for Fedora 8, then if all goes well, it should be supplemented into available official methods of install in Fedora 9. I suppose it would be pretty important to use anaconda, because of the management tools available for anaconda... <div>On 9/2/07, Jonathan Steffan <<a href="mailto:jon@fedoraunity.org">jon@fedoraunity.org</a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 King InuYasha wrote: > Hello, > > I recently discovered a very interesting project called Wubi ( > <a href="http://wubi-installer.org/">http://wubi-installer.org/ </a>) which permits installation of > Ubuntu/Kubuntu/Xubuntu to a disk image file on a Windows drive and makes the > appropriate boot entry changes to allow booting to Linux from the disk image > file in the Windows partition.

From the Virtual FUDCon, I've taken that a user needing a windows installer is not in our target audience (at least not right now.) With regards to making it an "unofficial" installer to prove it's viability, I'm all for it. Fedora sponsored/official live images were sparked by community initiative, a 'from windows' installer might be an example in the future. I don't particularly like the way Wubi gets things done, but give the concept merit. I'd look at helping to do something similar, but using anaconda to do the install among other changes.
