Hello all,

I'm interested in automate linux guests installation. First I haven't been able to guess if the gfxboot issues with Ubuntu have been solved (changelog searching has given zero results), so I thought about installing a debootstrap system in a file mounted in loopback mode. would be KVM able to boot a file like this? Second I might be having to do a bunch of installations in soon future and I'm not interested in doing it from CD, is there any way apart cloning the images and reconfiguring them after booting?

Thank you very much in advanced, Regards
Miguel

Thank you Anthony for your program. I have downloaded it and it works great! Until now I was generating the iso without gfxboot doing changes by hand. This is going to let me work faster, thanks.

Thanks a lot for the kvmtest information too.

Regards,
Miguel
