like to remove minimal install, since default one has already covered it."

install, but that's not the same as saying the minimal installation
function works as intended. Am I misreading you?
Hurry: I think we'll need to keep the minimal install test around for
Fedora 14. However, I don't think we need to run this test for *every*
usage scenario. Can both the default package set, and the minimal package
set tests be moved into the general variations list? I don't think these
need to be tested against each boot+install method.
Additionally, I've updated the
[https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/TestCases/PackageSetsMinimalPackageInstall
minimal install package set test] to ensure the system is able to access
the network and install yum updates.
> "Reason: I think the other partitioning tests and
QA/TestCases/BootMethodsKVM(Install on a new created kvm) have somehow
covered this test. "
I'd really like to also remove 'QA/TestCases/BootMethodsKVM' and it's XEN
counterpart, or at least rename them to something more appropriate.
Perhaps a set of storage device tests that confirm the detection and use
of virt storage and network devices?
