Hello,<div><br></div><div>yep template could be a solution, but means we need to have machine that are quite similar.</div><div>What I'd like to do, and presents to user, is a list of "profiles" (Centos6, RHEL6, Fedora17, etc.) and any profile has a "kickstart" associated that indicates iso source, which base packages should be installed, etc.</div>
<div>That is exactly what we have today with a PXE installation, but the only things is that I cannot invoke an automatic installation within a script.</div><div><br></div><div>To be clear, here yuo are what I'm traying in this moment:</div>

</div>well, if you want to select packages, etc., how would you present that to the user in ovirt GUI?<br>
Isn't it essentially the same as installing a VM with whatever you need using the desired OS installation method/GUI and save it as a template? And then deploy the template and do minor customizations (e.g. hostname change). We do plan to have support for such things in near future - we already have sysprep for Windows guests.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
