- fixed issue with dracut /sbin/sysctl no such file or directory being reported before live iso boot. gnome-boxes and nfs-utils have been removed from the official and gnome ISOs. gnome-boxes requires nfs-utils. nfs-utils was causing the dracut issue, so both have been removed from the isos. They can always be installed by the user afterwards.
- KDE ISO display corruption issue noted here has been resolved
- Issue with nobara repository gpg keys noted here resolved. keys are now packaged as part of the installation. Users shouldn’t get spammed to allow gpg keys upon first updates
- all ISOs will now automatically open the installer upon live boot
