hi good people, I've not ignored this thread, quite the opposite. I've been chatting to Nicholas and discussed several options to 'clean up' the mini-iso / network boot test case area. He's pretty happy with my proposal which is we run only one test case [1] as mandatory with the others as optional; but I need to double check this with the -release team as we are moving test cases around pretty late in the cycle.
