Description Pete Travis 2014-10-15 06:52:49 UTC

It doesn't look like there will be a DVD image, the traditional source in our instructions for site-provided installation repos.  Consider conjuring up a procedure explaining how an administrator could obtain a mirror of the installation tree for each Product (whatever anaconda is pointed at for the netinstalls) without having to pull in the entire repo.

So, here's what we should do (based on an IRC convo with randomuser):

* tell people that they don't have to limit themselves to whatever is available on the install media they use; they can use inst.repo=, the Source spoke in the GUI, or repo in Kickstart to point at e.g. http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/22/Workstation/x86_64/os/ and install anything they want

* mention that the Everything variant exists

* make sure to use the download.fedoraproject.org address, instead of e.g. dl.fp.o

* mention somewhere that you can create a local mirror, even a private one, to speed up mass deployments; link to http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure/Mirroring

The install guide has been retired, therefore I'm closing this bug.
