Hi there.
I still prefer the idea of leaving the CDROM mounted because the
heuristic we use to determine if a Windows guest is being installed is a
big hack, and because we don't use that code at all in virt-manager and
I would like the cdrom to stay mounted by default in virt-manager
installs as well.
However, if the earlier behavior is useful to anyone, I'd be happy to
take a patch for a virtinst argument that would direct virtinst not to
include the cdrom device in the post-install guest description.
Take care,
