On Ubuntu releases that install with Subiquity, the packages in the .pkglist file are installed during the autoinstall from the configured apt mirror and the pkgdir mirrors, without recommended packages as ``ospkgs`` installs them, and ``ospkgs`` applies the whole list again after the first boot. A version pin, a target release or an architecture qualifier in the list, a list that carries a ``#ENV:`` setting, and the list of an osimage with ``environvar`` are installed by ``ospkgs`` only. The apt sources the installer uses for the pkgdir mirrors and the otherpkgs repository do not remain on the node: ``ospkgs`` and ``otherpkgs`` write their own after the first boot, as before. ``ospkgs`` writes http mirrors only, so an https mirror or a local directory in pkgdir serves the autoinstall and is not an apt source after the first boot.
The path to the package lists will be read from the osimage definition. Which osimage a node is using is specified by the provmethod attribute. To display this value for a node: ::
lsdef node1 -i provmethod
