- * The Fedora installer, '''Anaconda''', now supports partition resizing for ext2/3, NTFS filesystems, creating and installing to encrypted file systems, improved Rescue Mode (FirstAidKit), independent locations for the second stage installer and the software packages. A redesigned, larger `netboot.iso` image now features a second stage installer partly for this reason.
