3. The dvd_install.py and cd_install.py do not support downloading first if the given media is remote http address.mediakit_sanity.py supports this
4. If the testing can not get logs, you may have to modify the autoqa/lib/python/anaconda.py line:"wget -O /bin/minimon http://10.66.65.170/minimon" to where guest can access minimon file
