Daniel, Older versions of Windows would require floppy. However: - There are no floppy support for VMs using q35 in some OSes; - mtools has been orphaned on Fedora; With those two things in mind, I'd happily not support those systems as part of a new feature for virt-install. Still, if you prefer (and Cole agrees), I'd be okay providing a fallback code to use floppy as the injection method for Windows and keep supporting Windows XP. >> > > >> > >> > Not for many, many years.
