askmethod is still a valid anaconda option, yes.

Replying to [ticket:193 kparal]:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/TestCases/InstallSourceHardDrive seems to be outdated:
* We no longer use CD images.

That is correct. We can remove it, although I'm inclined to keep it in the test only because I don't think it confuses matters badly. I hesitated too since I wanted to make 100% sure we would ship a release without CD ISO images. Since that's about to be the case, perhaps we can revisit. Is the wording confusing in your opinion, is it just a matter of removing references to ''CD''?

• Is boot.iso being generated, or is it netinst.iso?

Those two terms are used interchangeably throughout our test cases. For nightly auto-generated trees, the file is called 'boot.iso'. For official release media, the file is called 'Fedora-$releasever-$basearch-netinst.iso'. Rather than specify this difference, we've just ignored it. This seems to be consistent with our installation guide, I can't find references to netinst.iso there either. They're really the same files anyway ... same sha256sum. Is there some adjusted wording you'd propose?

• Is askmethod anaconda option still valid?

As clumens noted, yes. This is actually required in some cases (like the HD ISO install). I've made some minor wording adjustments.

I've made some adjustments, feel free to review ... https://fedoraproject.org/w/index.php?title=QA%2FTestCases%2FInstallSourceHardDrive&diff=236446&oldid=198980

It's not confusing, I just think that it will be more readable when we remove references to CDs (when we no longer use them anyway). Is there still a possibility to ship F15 on CDs? I have no insight in that, but I consider that highly unlikely, since that method wouldn't be tested at all.

There's no more code in anaconda to install from the split media transactions that would be required to support installation from CDs. So I would say no, there's no chance of us shipping split media for the forseeable future.

Thanks for proposing it. The current install source cases are out of date and need be adjust to adapt the new anaconda. I haven't got the time to fix them, but there's a ticket filed previously to track it:
* [https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-qa/ticket/173 Improve the install sources tests to adapt F-15 anaconda]

I Will start to modify them soon and remove references to CDs in the tests.

Since the code is gone from anaconda, it couldn't be more final than that! :)

I've made some more wording changes. Unless there are any other comments, I think this should address this ticket.

Remaining issues for updating the installation source tests can be saved for ticket#173 (as noted by rhe).

Thanks! It's nicely concise now.
