Re: Installation Media

The PRD also calls for a generic network install of one kind or
another. It has been unclear in past discussions how we plan to handle
that. If I remember correctly, two approaches have been suggested:
1) We build a traditional netinstall with anaconda included on it and
point it at the installable tree on the mirrors based on the DVD.
Advantage: Tooling is already available. No additional trees need to
be specified. Potentially can be shared with Workstation if we
coordinate it.
2) We use boot.fedoraproject.org and add entries for the Fedora Server
in the installation selection
Advantage: Allows us to potentially address serious bugs in Anaconda
after the stable release. Smaller install media download.
If the options are exclusive, I'm in favor of the former: ability to
install using "ordinary" PXE setups, including data centers that are
strictly firewalled from the internet[1], and minimizing the work needed,
seems preferable to me.

the way?
