My co-workers use iDRAC installs for non-emergency cases. We need to ships servers around
the world and sometimes the import laws are such a PITA that's easier to have the
facility make the hardware purchase locally and then said co-workers install Fedora
remotely via the DRAC.
I've not done it myself so I cannot speak at all as to how various media types work or
fail, but just thought I'd mention that this type of scenario is very real, albeit
admittedly much less common.
