Correct.

Another use case is a particular type of installation: Put an ISO image on a
DASD or SCSI disk in future.  In the installer, set the DASD/SCSI disk online
and then use the iso-scan/load-iso modules to mount and search for the ISO
image to proceed installation.  That way, an external network connection might
not be required.

Thanks and kind regards,
