So what we wound up doing instead was saying "you know what, no-one

Everyone seems to be happy with us just officially shipping the Server
one, with Server as the *default* package group but all the other
package groups available, so the Server image also works for doing
network installs of Workstation and Cloud. We want to make network
install *possible* for particular use cases for those products, but it's
not the primary distribution method and doesn't need a clever
Product-specific image." (Really, what we're now calling the 'Server
network install image' is pretty much exactly what the plain old
'network install image' was for all previous releases).
I think if we decide to stay with this for F22, we should probably look
at just calling it the "generic network install image" (and maybe
asking Base WG if they want to own it).
I can bring it to Base WG meeting as a topic next time.


If you take a look over at the kickstart mailing list, I have posted a little writeup explaining how to use netinst to perform a kickstart install of a Live Image. You can have the kickstart and squashfs.img files on the network or you can put the netinstall, kickstart, and squashfs.img files on a usb-stick or combinations of the previous.

I believe that the network install iso should not be referred to as the "Generic Network Install Image' but instead it shoud be the Fedora Network Install Image. This image by itself really does nothing (except maybe come up in rescue mode). The delivery "payload" (installed system) can be anything from the workstation product to GOVOF (Gene's Own Version Of Fedora:-) ) and will likely be the tool for kickstart installs. The installed product may be a Fedora Product, a Fedora Nonproduct, or a Generic Product but I believe the tool itself should have the Fedora Brand on it.
