I propose that to get something in place now we go minimal, and just

clicked through a release."
as a Beta criterion. i.e. if you take /root/anaconda-ks.cfg from a
click-through install and pass it to anaconda, it should successfully
install. (Maybe with the small wrinkle that you uncomment the
partitioning stuff, so it becomes a true unattended kickstart).
We can then elaborate the criteria from there based on 'case law', i.e.,
we can evaluate actual kickstart bugs as they're proposed as blockers
and propose criteria based on the results of those discussions. How does
that sound?
Here's a specific wording proposal - proposing we add this as a Beta
criterion, starting with F16 Beta:
"The installer must be able to successfully complete a scripted
installation, using the installer's preferred scripting system, which
duplicates the default interactive installation as closely as possible".
sound good? patches? alternative proposals? thanks!
