That all sounds accurate. No, they don't need to come out of the same tool, though of course it's a bit more complex if we have to handle two different image creation processes. > That being said, it sounds like precise partitioning is another > requirement. Yeah, and it's at least feasible we might need to combine the two, though I don't think that's the case for any of the current images. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net _______________________________________________ qa-devel mailing list qa-devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/qa-devel
