Similar to previous:
"The installer must be able to retrieve and use an
[[Anaconda/Updates|
installer update image]] by any supported method"
Though this may be too broad, and we may have the problem we had with
kickstarts in F16, where some really obscure retrieval method doesn't
work and we don't really want to block the release for that. We might
want to be more specific and only support more common updates.img
deployment channels.
Thank you for suggestions on this. I would require only methods for which we have test
case [1] [2] and from alpha [3]. So I propose beta criterion:
"The installer must be able to use an [[Anaconda/Updates|installer update image]]
retrieved from removable media, remote installation source and HTTP url"
