what's an "extractable" ISO?
When adding an ISO in the management server (4.1-snapshot) there's a checkbox with label "Extractable".
In the admin guide (4.0.1-incubating), it says "Extractable: Choose Yes if the ISO should be available for extraction." which really doesn't tell me anything :)
What exactly does this checkbox do/mean and in what use cases should it be checked?
Thanks,
Shane

Not 100% sure, but I believe it applies to gzipped/bzipped ISOs.

Hi, Shane. It controls whether or not users can download the ISO, and
volumes of VMs created from the ISO, out of CloudStack. The extractable
setting doesn't apply to admin accounts.
Best regards,
Kirk
