Had a discussion with Andre on IRC about the [http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_Anaconda_User_Interface_Telnet telnet installer test case]. According to anaconda, the telnet boot option has been removed and replaced with ssh support. In order to adjust and test for this change, we'll need to ...
1) Request documentation on the boot option from the installer team 2) Remove [http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_Anaconda_User_Interface_Telnet QA:Testcase_Anaconda_User_Interface_Telnet] from the F14 (and future) test matrices 3) Create a new wiki test case to capture the testing required to confirm that ssh support is functioning properly
Note, the new ssh support doesn't replace the telnet use case. The ability to telnet into the installer and direct the installation from the telnet session has been removed and there is no replacement.
Support for connecting to a running installer via SSH to allow for easier debugging has been added. This new test might make sense under https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Category:Recovery_Test_Cases ?
If anyone wants to propose a new test case feel free, otherwise I'll investigate post-F14Beta.
Any reason not to just remove the telnet test now (or at least before Final.TC1), and add a new one later? The test's continuing presence is starting to cause confusion - see

No reason I know of not to remove the test now. I've updated [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Fedora_14_Install_Results_Template#General_Tests QA:Fedora_14_Install_Results_Template]. I've also added the test case to the category [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Category:Obsolete_Test_Cases Category:Obsolete_Test_Cases].
Hurry, are there any other places where this change needs to be made? If not, I gather this ticket can be closed out?

Sorry, this ticket got buried in my mail box. I'm closing this ticket, will keep an eye on it if any other places need to be made. Thank you both.
