Along the same lines: enhance virt-manager to support deploying virtual machine images based on virt-image and its XML image format. There are lots of possible ways in which this could go, for example: * Focus on UI, build VM's based on images stored locally/in a fixed directory * Build above out to download images from a central server (or any webserver, which would aid in distribution of images) * Freeze an existing/running VM into an image * p2v migration that takes a physical installation and produces a VM image (even something simple that just scrapes bits off disk and packages them w/o worrying too much about device complications would be really valuable) * Tracking of image/machine association (think template images for a development group that they can 'check out' and use) David -- Libvir-list mailing list Libvir-list(a)redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
