Sounds like good first steps! :)
Just a question  what is the expected workflow ?
That Anaconda on the Atomic Workstation image always installs someflatpacks from the repo on the ISO and the flatpacks
to install are specifiedas a static list.
Or should the user also be able to decide which flatapackswill be installed (eq. via a kickstart command as Jirka
proposedor via the UI) ?
