Sarah,
There are couple of comments that may not directly involved with the
document but I want to bring to your attention.
1. We need to add the functionality of discovering boot environment
as part of target discovery
2. The GUI installer and AI has too much knowledge about
liborchestrator and when we redesign the install engine, we need to make
the interface cleaner.
Thanks,
Sundar
