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.
Yes, I meant two separate items - the VFD plus the ISO, just as is done with RHEV today. Somehow that never got pushed to the Community. Rather than duplicate work, somebody might want to simply push that code upstream, assuming that's not a problem with RedHat.
It's just a matter of packaging. The virtio drivers are all pushed on to the fedora site and the spice driver onto spice-space.org. And the tools installers etc are on the ftp site @ ftp://ftp.redhat.com/redhat/rhev-m/3.x/src-zips/
Also note that since the Quick Start Guide is written to assume these items are pre-populated, that should be considered a bug today. Either the QSG should be updated to remove this note until the functionality is actually present, or we can simply add the func to match the doc (which would be less work in the long run) :)
As requested, I have opened a (separate) bug/rfe to track this: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1028489 I am not sure they need to be separate bugs, but I started it this way and somebody can lump this in and close this as a dup if they like.
