A large computer vendor with whom we have a friendly relationship would like to update the image they're shipping on their systems so that 1) new users don't have quite so many updates immediately and 2) auiu newer kernel helps with some upcoming things *vague vague handwavy vague*.
I can think of four possibilities:
Sure, use the live-respins!
The live-respins are unofficial, but we have run [this specific workstation iso] through our standard validation tests and we recommend it for your use.
Use the netinstall and choose "apply updates" (or whatever that option is called) when making your distribution image.
Uh, sorry, we got nothin'.
In all cases, they will run through their own internal testing and validation. And, because of calendar things, they'd really love an answer before the 26th of this month, which I know is short notice.
Of the above, I think #2 is the best, but requires someone other than me to do significant work. Sooooo, I'm raising it here. :)
If they're doing the QE the #2 option isn't too hard, what artifact do they need, the iso installer or the live image, something else?
