Bug 1026930 - Package virtio-win and put it in ovirt repositories (I'll do this)
Very nice, thanks!
Will you also package/create the virtual floppy disk?
On http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/virtio-win/latest/images/
there's only the ISO, but not the vfd and installing Windows is much
easier with drivers on a floppy then changing the install CDs...
Thanks,
René
Bug 1026933 - pre-populate ISO domain with virtio-win ISO (depends on
1026930, need someone to take)
