There is built-in help in Anaconda ?
There is built-in help in Anaconda ?
- since Fedora 21 and RHEL 7.1 there is a built-in help system in the Anaconda GUI
- help content is available for every Anaconda screen
- accessible via the "Help!" buttons in the upper left corner
How it looks like
Technical background
- help content is generated from the Fedora/RHEL installation guide XML files
- a script is used to transform them to a suitable state
- remove images, replace external links & other XML magic
- the help content is displayed using the Yelp help viewer
Future plans/ideas
- format and path compatible with desktop help
- would make the help content available in the normal help directory
- translated help content
- Anaconda is ready for this, but there are currently no translations for the installation guide
- make it possible for addons to provide their own help content
- help in text mode
