Offering to just define the domain and launch the details wizard for extra tweaking should address anyone with specific requirements. We would certainly need to fix up things a bit in the backend to make it work though, so this won't happen for this initial push. > This actually leads to another question: > If we select PXE, do subsequent reboots also enable PXE? or is PXE only > enable for the install? > > Can we have systems that will always run PXE? eg, stateless/diskless VMs? > If you do a PXE install and skip adding storage (there is a checkbox to that effect) the VM will boot PXE on every subsequent reboot. If you do add storage, it will fall back to a HD boot (as though you simply installed from PXE) but that is a simple change in the VM Details section.
