Just noticed when I use Etcher to make Qubes installation media it creates a separate “Anaconda” partition on the USB? What is this?

short answer is, just a label name.
another short answer is, it’s a anaconda installer.

when i mean short, its really short, there’s nothing you should aware of, because it’s just a label name, and there’s a content of anaconda installer that makes we could install easily.

Although, the Fedora Project is apparently looking to replace this with Cockpit, so it’ll be interesting to see what they come up with:

I was curious too. Sounds like a code-word for an NSA hacking tool.
