For example, Server and netinst ISO > images are used a lot for VMs, but not for bare metal. I wasn't clear on this, so let me be more specific. My proposal is only related to bare-metal optical media support (physical CD, DVD, BD). It is not related to VM booting at all, so our existing criteria would remain to hold - i.e. all the images have to be bootable in VMs since Alpha/Beta (Beta strictly per current criteria wording, but effectively I believe this would be approved even as an Alpha blocker). This would not change. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
