Installation
Fedora 34 contains two potentially breaking changes related to system installation:
Multiple Kickstart commands have been deprecated or removed. Deprecated commands in Kickstarts will cause warnings, and removed commands will cause the installation to fail. Notably, this includes the `install` command, which is used in many older Kickstart files. See xref:sysadmin/Installation.adoc#sect-kickstart-deprecated-removed[Deprecated and removed Kickstart commands and options] for a full list of deprecations and removals.
All installer boot options now must use the `inst.` prefix, which was previously optional but recommended. Anaconda boot options such as `inst.repo=` will now be ignored if they do not use this prefix.
Anaconda changes
This section covers changes in the [application]*Anaconda* installer, including changes in the graphical and text mode interactive installers, Kickstart, and installer boot options.
General changes
The filesystem image containing the Anaconda installer, `images/install.img`, which is present both in DVD and netinstall ISOs, no longer embeds an ext4 filesystem image. Instead, files are stored directly in SquashFS, without an intermediate ext4 layer. Installer content is stored more efficiently this way, resulting in savings of up to 27MiB per ISO.
The installer mounts `/tmp` of the installed system as a `tmpfs` during the installation. (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1306452)
The installer installs the kbd-legacy package to support non-ascii keyboard layouts. (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1919483)
Crashes in wireless networking configuration in installer GUI have been fixed. (https://github.com/rhinstaller/anaconda/pull/2977)
Persistent network configuration from Kickstart configuration is now created in a later stage (not in initramfs), so all the persistent configuration files are generated using the NetworkManager API, which results in:
Consistency between common kickstart configuration and configuration via kickstart %pre section (the same code path is used).
Consistency of generated configuration files. All files are now stored in the format configured in NetworkManager. In Fedora 33 configuration files created from kickstart configuration were stored in `ifcfg` files while other configuration paths (boot options, UI) were using `keyfile` files.
Added a metapackage for image dependencies - useful when generating `boot.iso`. (The plan is to eventually move stuff from lorax templates to there.) (https://github.com/rhinstaller/anaconda/pull/3126)
Removed support for the `nfsiso:` pseudo-protocol. Anaconda can these days detect that a `nfs:` target is an ISO file, so `nfsiso:` became redundant. (https://github.com/rhinstaller/anaconda/pull/2889)
Changes in boot options
The `inst.` prefix, which was previously recommended for use with Anaconda-specific boot options, is now mandatory. Anaconda boot options such as `inst.stage2=` or `inst.repo=` will now be ignored if they do not use the prefix. This change helps Anaconda avoid conflicts with other projects which may use the same kernel parameters. You can read the discussion of this change on the link:++https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org/thread/43LKTJOUO5TB7LGFWPRNXOYLEQF3KLGG/#ENTHA45Y6VO45FAD4ULPSHCTOXPML3PA++[devel mailing list].
The following boot options have been removed:
`inst.singlelang` - The single language mode has been removed some time ago.
