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.
Comment 1 Petr Bokoc 2015-10-19 21:39:50 UTC 
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
