-redhat 7.3:
-- do not halt the box when "halt" is used
-- no sysreq
-- kdm has gnome entry whereas gnome is not installed
-  => choosing gnome gives a flashing black screen and kdm reruns
-
-- repartition of packages on various CDs is crap
-
-- bootloader: handling of multiple disks is more powerful in redhat, but more
-dangerous (proposed to everyone, but not proposed especially to people having
-a dangerous combinaison)
-- why still asking about lba32!!
-
-* anaconda 7.3 vs 7.3.92
-  - skipddc option (locks some machines) ??
-    maybe because it's done at the beginning of their install?
-  
-  - LVM
-    - lvm_dialog_gui.py
-    - Physical Extent 1MB 2MB 4MB ... 16GB
-      (vgcreate -s ${PhysicalExtentSize}k)
-    - see lvm_sanity_checks.txt, take them
-    - lvm on / (mkinitrd)
-    - handle upgrade when lvm on /
-    - vgcreate -An (ie --autobackup no) ??
-      (also for lvcreate vgchange lvremove
-    - see clampPVSize in lvm.py
-
-  - RAID
-    - Number of spares ??
-    - mkraid --dangerous-no-resync  ??
-  
-  - progress bar in ext2 formatting
-  
-  - ctrl-alt-suppr during install => reboots
-  
-  - user names: the regexp is [a-zA-Z][^\0-\x20:,\n]*  or  [A-Za-z][A-Za-z0-9]{0,7}   (depending on wether you're in text mode or graphic mode :)
-  - check the user name created is not a system one (see systemUsers)
-  
-  - SMB authentification
-  - cloneDrive ?
-
-  - edd dropped (was to detect lba32 capability, which was dumb)
-
-  - reconfig type of installed removed (was something between install & upgrade)
-
-  - ddcprobe code removed -> moved to kudzu
-    changes: sigprocmask and movl added around lrmi_vm86
-
-  - $ENV{GDK_USE_XFT} = 0
-
-* kudzu 0.99.52 vs 0.99.55
-  - blacklisting modules.pcimap e100 and bcm5700
-
-* hwdata 0.14 vs 0.32
-  - dropped XFree86 3.3.6 support
-
-  - upgradelist: list of (old_module => new_module) for upgrades
-    (a simpler way would be to drop entries in modules.conf that concern
-    obsolete (and not available anymore) modules, relying on auto-detection to
-    add the new one)
-
-  - CardMonitorCombos (for laptops)
-
-redhat 8.0:
-
-  (legend: + pros  - cons  / notice)
-  
-  Install steps difference
-  + firewall wizard
-  + md5sum check when booting install
-  - no upgrade packages installation during install
-  - no services configuration (chkconfig)
-  - no printer configuration
-  - no autologin
-  - no real small installation
-  - no small packages (groff-for-man, perl-base...)
-  / still propose non-MD5 or non-shadow passwords
-  / post install tool (firstconfig)
-  
-  General install behaviour, eye-candiness
-  + package selection a la Windows
-  + in language selection languages displayed in native language
-  + candy timezone selection
-  + help uses bold/italic/big-font
-  - no one CD install
-  / not using fb at install
-  / python + gtk2  vs  perl + gtk
-  / ask many things before doing anything (esp. delayed partitioning, swap not available when selecting packages!(?))
-  - more width-hard-coded dialog boxes (harder for translations)
-  / use a loopback file from the CD then copied on system
-  
-  Partitioning
-  - no diskdruid after install
-  - no partitioning wizard
-  - no devfs
-  - no xfs (but now has reiserfs/jfs)
-  - no loopback crypted fs
-  - no file swap (?)
-  - no supermount
-  + LABELed entries in fstab
-  + progress bar while formatting
-  
-  Bootloader
-  + bootloader configuration less awkward
-  - no automatic handling of bios ordering with many harddrives
-  - propose to manually change bios ordering even with one harddrive
-  - LBA32 checkbox
-  / defaults to grub
-  
-  Network
-  - awkward question apropos hostname when using DHCP
-  - no default choice for netmask/gateway/DNS based on IP
-  
-  XFree
-  - no wacom configuration
-  - no graphic card multi-head configuration
-  - no ATI tvout configuration
-  - no prompt for logout after changing X config
-  - VideoRam prompted for everybody
-  / no XFree3
-  / no Utah GLX
-  / load module "fbdevhw" "record", but not "v4l"
-  / always load module "glx" and "dri"
-  
-  Keyboard
-  - many non useful keyboard entries (eg: latin0)
-  - no way to choose the toggle key to choose between latin/non-latin keyboard 
-  - no loadkeys done during install for console
-  
-  Mouse
-  - no way to test mouse choice
-  - mouse choices include many non-useful choices, badly sorted
-    (Intellimouse must be sought in Microsoft whereas it's used by many others)
-  
-  Multimedia
-  - no bttv configuration (including webcams)
-  - missing audio modules (alsa, audigy...)
-
-* anaconda 8.0 (rel. 4) vs 8.0.92
-  - use vte instead of gnome.zvt
-  - add alpha (axp) partitioning code
-  - remove label "nofb" and options "devfs=nomount ramdisk_size=9216" from syslinux.cfg

-    (with comment "add back -Odir_index when htree is safe")

-  - OS390 fdasd & z/IPL changes
-  - for kickstart, new option "--ignoremissing", (there were --ignoredeps and --resolvedeps)
-  - /usr/kerberos/lib in LD_LIBRARY_PATH
-  - these are symlinks so you cant make them mount points
-    otherexcept = ['/var/mail', '/usr/bin/X11', '/usr/lib/X11', '/usr/tmp']
-
-	    elif self.mountpoint in otherexcept:
-                return _("The mount point %s cannot be used.  It must "
-			 "be a symbolic link for proper system "
-			 "operation.  Please select a different "

-        # needed, then lets disable it right in the driver completely, or possibly
-        # fix it.
-     - using driver "nv" for GeForce4 and Quadro4 with comment:
-        # mharris - Nov 23, 2002 - enabling "nv" driver for GeForce 4 and Quadro 4 as
-        # CVS XFree86 support them now in 4.2.99.2
