[Phill Whiteside <PhillW@xxxxxxxxxx>]

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.

Regards,

Phill.
