Re: easy way to configure domU

I had previously... and now I look again (new shiny website)

"Whether you run a large datacenter, a campus lab, or just have a handfull of machines on a home network, cobbler can help you perform installations and updates faster."

I have 10 virtual machines over two physical machines.... no shared storage (yet), nothing clustered, all manually created and managed. I think that I can do everything I need to with virt-manager, kickstart...

I've been reading around the website - cobbler and koan will clearly meet Asrai's needs

Asrai,

I build from my own mirror of fedora/rhel installation source using kickstart files... I can build a new domU in about 15 minutes with a tight package selection based on the server task.

You could also look at http://xen-tools.org/index.html

Have you looking into Cobbler for remote provisioning?
