On this subject, why isn't the standard anaconda package for F11 updated when 
bugs are found and fixed ? I, amongst others I'm sure, make their own local
re-spins of F11 that we can install on our local systems. One of the
major items needed in a respin is the anaconda installer as if this has bugs
for our systems installing is very difficult. All other packages can be fixed
by a later yum update. If anaconda updated packages were released as part of the 
normal F11 updates then respins built with pungi would have all of
the latest installation bugs fixed.
