==Test Schedule and Header codes==
A sample test schedule is provided below.  Check one feature at a time and add comments. We will use a shorthand in the header line so we can check progress quickly.  The test list below starts with very few headers since we start afresh.  The intention is for testers to update this document to reflect their testing, thus avoiding duplication.

Different installation scenarios re. software RAID, LVM and NOSPARE usage, etc.  Note that you need to test each scenario separately, meaning reinstalling from scratch for each test - you cannot modify a Raid configuration after a system has been installed.
