6 Last I checked, Anaconda was designed for binary installations,
7 originally for RPM-based systems. Trying to shove source-based
8 compilation into a binary installer seems like a lot of time,
9 trouble, and hacking. Better to start from scratch.

11 I hope you guys talk to releng about your CLI-based installer, if it
12 gets off the ground. Since we'll need to figure out what's
13 "supported" as an official install method. If you aren't worried
14 about a "canonical" way of doing things with the existing media, then
15 never mind. Either way, good luck.
