From fbba3fb26c1fdede7f72b244bdba87371431e97f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeremy Cline Date: Apr 16 2025 19:45:29 +0000 Subject: wsl: Document installing Fedora from the distro listing It's now possible to install Fedora directly from wsl, so document that as the preferred method. This combines the old method documentation under a "Rawhide and nightly" section and points folks to the koji package should they be interested in that. --- diff --git a/modules/ROOT/pages/wsl.adoc b/modules/ROOT/pages/wsl.adoc index 8c89c76..b25193b 100644 --- a/modules/ROOT/pages/wsl.adoc +++ b/modules/ROOT/pages/wsl.adoc @@ -47,17 +47,31 @@ After rebooting, you can proceed to the next section to install Fedora as a dist === Installing Fedora in WSL -==== Downloading the Fedora WSL tarball +Fedora Linux is available for installation from the official distribution list.
