Oh, I was equating test releases (1.7.35-0.4) with snapshots (since each test release has matched a particular snapshot), but I guess you are distinguishing between them (since we have a lot more snapshots than what gets promoted to test release). So maybe all we need is something along the lines of: In general, snapshots cannot be installed via setup; however, there have been cases of a snapshot promoted to a test release that can be installed using the 'Experimental' know within setup. -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
