Oh, good point, I like this idea. My only caution is if it might be too coupled with a specific implementation. I could see the criteria being loosely coupled when worded such as, "the provided media verification procedures operate as intended". However, having criteria more tightly coupled with an implementation, such as "The user must be prompted for media verification whenever booting the installer using ISO media from an optical drive" seems to define policy that the installer should always prompt for mediacheck. I like it, just not sure if this is the right place to require that? Thoughts/ideas? Side-topic ... perhaps a dumb question ... but does mediacheck still catch valid errors? I seem to recall times when mediacheck passes, but the media can still be bad. Thanks, James
