To install multiple guests in parallel the role of the host and the guest need to be changed. In this patch host acts as a client and the guest acts as server, enabling us to install multiple guest at same time. The present unattended install file (kickstart, xml) need to be modified to make them work with this patch. So i have also included a patch for the kickstart file "RHEL-5-series.ks" and a patch to support Sles11 64-bit guests. I will be happy to re-implement or modify the patch based to your comments and also extent support for other OS like windows. Thanks and Regards Yogi
