This is true, and IF possible I will do so.

But from my so far very limited understanding of anaconda internals,
and the look of those bugs (No patches? No way to recreate?) I doubt
that I can fix them on my own.

If somebody who knows anaconda wants to join my effort then please
send me a private email. Backporting bugfixes and possibly minor
improvements for anaconda would indeed be a good thing.

In other news, the FC4.1 images can successfully install on two
servers here that never worked with FC4.
(Instant reboot and no support for disk controller)
Both are problems I attributed to the kernel.

Regarding the current kernel beeing sub-optimal, it is kind of
a thing we need to wait for the next release. Reverting to an
older version is not what I want to do for an updated release.

So far I have not gotten any negative feedback, and the downloads are
steadily rolling out. This is kind of a busy week for me, so don't
expect too much in the ways of changelogs or scripts for now.
