 > Hurry: I think we'll need to keep the minimal install test around for
 Fedora 14.  However, I don't think we need to run this test for *every*
 usage scenario.  Can both the default package set, and the minimal package
 set tests be moved into the general variations list?  I don't think these
 need to be tested against each boot+install method.

 No problem. Having default package set test in each scenario is easier for
 testers to add results. I don't think it's specific to any usage scenario
 as well, so I'll put it in general list.

 > Additionally, I've updated the
 [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/TestCases/PackageSetsMinimalPackageInstall
 minimal install package set test] to ensure the system is able to access
 the network and install yum updates.

 Thanks to both you and Adam for clarifying this issue, let's keep minimal
 install test.

 QA/TestCases/BootMethodsKVM(Install on a new created kvm) have somehow
 covered this test. "

 XEN counterpart, or at least rename them to something more appropriate.
 Perhaps a set of storage device tests that confirm the detection and use
 of virt storage and network devices?

 I'm going to remove them and add a case
 [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_Install_to_KVM
 QA:Testcase_Install_to_KVM] instead.Thanks.
