[fedora-virt] how can i verify that HW extensions are being used?

[Denise Dumas]

Are you testing a full real DVD or just a boot.iso burned to a DVD?

If it's just a boot.iso, that would explain what you're seeing - there 
are no packages on it so anaconda will use a
network source in that case.  That would explain booting off a DVD and 
then seeing lots of network activity.

However if you're using a fullsize however many gig DVD with a Packages/ 
directory and all that, then there appears to be a bug
here.  We'd need to check the log files to find out what's going on.  If 
that's the case, could you please open a bugzilla against anaconda and 
attach the logs?

Thanks,
Denise
