Replying to [comment:8 jlaska]:
Nice work indeed! Some minor comments ...
* When you say ''default'' you mean the default method for testing that
particular function, not the installers default method for handling it?
I mean the default method for testing that function. The 'default',
'variation' was named according to the table in comment:3
With the modified tests, and the boot method tests ... do we have
the
following scenarios covered for each media?
1. boot media and accept defaults (different behavior based on
media
used)
Boot media tests have covered all the media, so I prefer not to modify
them a lot but will reword the descriptions about anaconda stage#1.
For install repo tests, the followings are the default install repo cases
for each media:
* DVD:

* netinst.iso:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_install_repository_Mirrorlist_d...
* pxeboot: no default install repo
* live:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_install_repository_Live_Image
2. boot media with askmethod, and choose appropriate installation
source
3. boot media with appropriate repo= boot parameter
Now there are two tests which are 'askmethod' and 'repo=' for every
method: HTTP/FTP, Harddrive, NFS, NFSISO and DVD(askmethod and repo= are
contained in one test for DVD). IMO, they don't depend on any media type
and should also be put in the
[

'Install Variations & General Tests']. What do you think?
4. boot media and graphically choose installation source
These tests have been integrated to install repository category, expect
NFS ISO and Harddrive which are not supported. Previously, graphical tests
were put into
[

DVD media tests] to verify the network enabling ability at that step. For
fedora-16, do you think if these graphical tests should be put to
[
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Fedora_15_Install_Results_Template#Gene...
'Install Variations & General Tests'] instead?[[BR]]

In addition, These repos can also be specified in kickstart, is it an
alternative way to test 'repo=' method?
