Installation Media

One thing that we haven't finished discussing (and need to settle on
sooner rather than later) is exactly what installation media we are
going to distribute. We are certainly going to distribute a DVD/USB
media (which also implies creation of an installable tree that can be
used over a network with virt-install).

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.


One additional thing to note is that with the network install media,
we should probably default to allowing access to the full Fedora
repositories and on the DVD/USB media we should make this an easy
option to enable.
