I'm working on this but pointing to F36. Why? Because we have a lot
to do for F35 and it won't be feasible.
If anyone can take the task outside the "core" team (there is no such
thing, but only 5 people are constantly showing in meetings)
I asked about this (installation groups) in the #anaconda freenode irc
chat and user mkolman advised:
the Fedora live spins are configured to run Anaconda in a mode where
it just rsyncs
the image content to the harddrive it just takes the rootfs content
from the live
image itself and rsyncs it to the storage layout that has been
configured by the
user in Anaconda by doing it this way user can try the Fedora image
out without
installing and will get 100% the same thing after the installation
while needing
all the data just once instead of live image + data to install and
the whole thing
is also independent on network connectivity in theory the Anaconda
on the live
image is still the same codebase as the one on the boot iso which
can install from
package repositories (and this supports groups via comps) but this
is simply not
supported and tested at all and not user visible at all
