BUT, wiki.centos.org can (and likely should) certainly contain article(s) / link(s) to make it easy to install. Also, the Virt SIG could build or distribute something .. if they want and if it is redistributable, etc. The Docs mail list is where one can ask for wiki acess (to add or change an article about windows support and the fedora iso, etc): http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-docs And the CentOS Virt list would be where to discuss building something (if it exists) for those drivers: http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-virt
