RFE: Ability To Edit Files At End of Installation Process

[Robert L Cochran]

I'm installing Fedora a second time around (on hdb in a 2-drive system) 
to double-check my claim. It is at the "installing packages" panel right 
now and so far, I have been able to use CTRL-ALT-F2 to get at virtual 
console #2 during the installation process. Using the left-side keys 
CTRL-ALT-F7 gets one back to the graphical panel.

I'm going to wait till the install completes because I'm sure that I 
tried to get into the virtual console after packages had been installed 
to the other drive on this system, but before quitting the installer, 
and couldn't access it. As a result I couldn't edit /etc/fstab. I want 
to be able to edit files just before the first boot of a freshly 
installed system.
