At FUDCon I heard that rawhide's version of anaconda can install directly to things like disk images and block devices, IIRC. Maybe that would be useful.

You should create an image for every role you care about and then boot the appropriate one for every instance you need. _______________________________________________ cloud mailing list cloud@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/cloud
