Hey, folks. As discussed a couple of weeks back, I've always believed<br>
the boot.iso, DVD and live boot method test cases ought to test bare<br>
metal booting of actual physical optical media: we have no other test<br>
cases specifically for this, and we do have other test cases<br>
specifically for USB media and virtual machines (now). So it doesn't<br>
seem to make sense to consider a VM or USB test as a 'pass' for these<br>
test cases; potentially that could mean we ship a release without ever<br>
actually checking that it can be written to and booted from a real<br>
optical disc.<br>
<br>
So, I've drafted up tweaked versions of three test cases which make<br>
this much clearer (and, in passing, remove obsolete references to<br>
anaconda's 'loader' stage, which no longer exists):<br>
<br>
<br>

<br>
The first two are slightly modified versions of:<br>
<br>
<a href="https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_Boot_Methods_Boot_Iso" target="_blank">https://fedoraproject.org/<u></u>wiki/QA:Testcase_Boot_Methods_<u></u>Boot_Iso</a><br>
<a href="https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_Boot_Methods_Dvd" target="_blank">https://fedoraproject.org/<u></u>wiki/QA:Testcase_Boot_Methods_<u></u>Dvd</a><br>
<br>
The third is intended to replace:<br>
<br>
<a href="https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_Live_Image_Boot" target="_blank">https://fedoraproject.org/<u></u>wiki/QA:Testcase_Live_Image_<u></u>Boot</a><br>
<br>
Which is really very similar to the first two, but - presumably just<br>
because it happened to get written at a different time by a different<br>
person, or something - was worded quite differently and not named in<br>
the same way. It's newer than the other two, but really I kinda prefer<br>
the wording of the earlier ones. It seems to make sense to replace it<br>
with a test case based on the same wording and naming scheme as the<br>
other two.<br>
<br>
Comments, improvements, suggestions, complaints? Lay 'em on! Thanks.<br>

I haven't received any feedback on this yet. If no-one complains, I'll go ahead and put them in place in the next few days. So, speak now or forever hold your peace :)<br>
