Easier installation with Anaconda



Hi,

Anaconda is great user-friendly installer, but it lacks some less popular functionality.

When Anaconda is removing Linux partitions and creating new, it should read some files from that partition.

* /etc/passwd: to see what users were used (optionally setting new password and permissions for existent /home directory on partition which is not going to be removed)

* /etc/modprobe.conf: to see what options were enabled

* /etc/modules: to see what modules were autoloaded ie. in Ubuntu

This probably wouldn't be possible for F9's Anaconda, but that changes will be valuable for next releases too.
