It came up once in the past- I'll bring it up again. The question of whether or not to "setup network boot" automatically w/o forcing the user to explicitly hit a button. Documentation can take us so far, but not as far as simply guaranteeing it.
I just dealt with [another] frustrated user who was following documentation, started reading a paragraph that started out talking about making a boot floppy... skipped it and went on. Unfortunately, this paragraph ended by talking about the setup network boot step, and was missed. This left the user with a tftp hang on the nodes, and spending hours trying to debug *the other* 50 reasons that symptom may occur. Granted, they could have read the documentation more closely, but nonetheless, it was an AVOIDABLE problem... that's what burns me. (and that I wanted to just do it a long time ago) ;-) Anyway... there's the whole premise that you can't protect the user from the user. Well in this case, it's certainly possible.
Can we finally plan on just doing this in the future? It's an opportunity to remove a choice from the user that's not necessary for them to even have to think about.
