Comment 3 Jeremy Katz 2008-05-02 13:16:22 UTC 
There's really not any way we can make our UI fit in less vertical space than
we're at there.  I'm looking at some things like getting the bottom panel to
auto-hide for small form factor machines or similar for post F9
Comment 4 Valent Turkovic 2008-05-02 14:05:01 UTC 
I tested auto-hide and I can't remember for 100% but I think that I had to
auto-hide both bottom and top panels in order to see buttons in anaconda.
Comment 5 Michael Cronenworth 2008-05-02 14:25:45 UTC 
Even though most people *should* have an 800x600 screen, it seems too arrogant
to assume that. I don't see why a 640x480 screen isn't enough real estate for an
installer. Shouldn't it be flexible enough to be able to resize to a *minimum*
of 640x480? Sure, you'll have some nasty long scroll bars, but people will be
installing Fedora on all sorts of devices with even smaller screens....
Comment 6 Jeremy Katz 2008-05-02 15:51:18 UTC 
640x480 is fine... 640x480 with panels along the top and bottom of the screen
making it more like 640x420 for the actual window?.  That's when it becomes
trickier :)
Comment 7 Bug Zapper 2008-05-14 10:30:32 UTC 
Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA.

Comment 8 Jeremy Katz 2008-06-03 14:53:43 UTC 
We should actually use xrandr and go full-screen on devices with a resolution
like this for F10
Comment 9 Valent Turkovic 2008-09-24 12:38:01 UTC 
Great idea! I hope this feature gets in F10.
Comment 10 Jeremy Katz 2008-09-29 19:38:34 UTC 
Fixed in git
