This is the last documentation website on how to use the Anaconda Installer.
After Fedora 36 the visual Anaconda guide was removed, because it is outdated and caused confusions.
As Anaconda has not changed much, this is helpful for today. Take it with a grain of salt though, and if the current install docs have contradicting info, use that.
Note: In the near future, the Installer will use the new Web Interface, which will be a lot simpler to use.
But then this guide will not help a lot anymore. The core idea stays the same.
Notice that the fedora magazine article was from Nov 2022, ( more than a year old) and was a preview notification.
The web installer may be included with f41 when it is released. I am watching to see the progress.
It was removed because it was heavily outdated, and some content was going back to early F20s releases. Also, its content came from many different releases in the end, so its contents were not even harmonized for long.
At some point is was clear the Docs team was not capable to update+maintain it, and when the new WebUI was to come anyway, it was no longer worth to put efforts in it: we agreed to put it offline, as it caused more confusion than value.
The goal was then to get something for the web UI. Afaik, this is now in the responsibility shared between Anaconda team and Workstation WG. But that information can be obsoleted already.
Not sure if a dedicated guide is still intended within the Docs, or if that shall be done upstream: a major question was about who can maintain it. You might ask the current Docs team about current plans/intentions
I now consider the fact that I helped to remove this guide from new releases to be one of my most important contributions during my time at Docs. This guide caused a lot of issues. That guide really contributed to the bad reputation of the Docs, and it caused confusion to users.
However, the general Fedoca Docs pages of current releases shall contain some pages that cover some major questions that used to be integrated in the install guide.
