In the QuickStart Guide, it implies that you should find a
virtual
...
...
...
...
floppy image for virtio-win in the ISO_DOMAIN. Or at least I
can
find no
...
...
...
...
information on where to find/populate that image before the
Guide shows
...
...
...
...
its use.
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
However, in my default 3.3 installation, there was nothing
pre-populated
...
...
...
...
in my ISO_DOMAIN. Should there have been?
...
...

I've never seen that happen on any of my installs.

You can grab the drivers at

Anyone would like to step in for packaging virtio-win so we can
add
it to
...
...
ovirt repository?
...
...
So we can add it as dependency and have ISO_DOMAIN populated.
...
...
...
...

...
...
I can take it, if alonbl doesn't mind me asking him a few questions
about packaging :)

...
Bug 1026930 - Package virtio-win and put it in ovirt repositories
(I'll do this)
...
Bug 1026933 - pre-populate ISO domain with virtio-win ISO (depends
on
1026930, need someone to take)

...
This is great!
...
Should we also consider pre-populating the Guest Additions, such as
the SPICE optimized driver?
Might need to have different manifest in the virtual floppy that the VFD based on the size limitations
eg. just enough (virtio-blk,net) in VFD but all in ISO.
