Brief summary of a conversation I had with Dave Miner. We will not require QE to build test images. We'll deliver live media images with one new GRUB menu entry to enable ssh and select the defaults for the language questions on boot up of the live media. This new GRUB menu entry will have the title "Enable SSH". Thanks for input everyone! Joe
