virtio_balloon drivers are missing in the virtio-win floppy disk image
found at http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/virtio-win/latest/images/bin/
whereas they are present in the ISO image , any specific reason for
this ? Shouldn't they be ideally present ?
Regards,
Onkar

You probably want to be asking this on the Fedora virt list rather than the kvm & qemu developer list.

The vfd is not supposed to contain the full set of drivers, it is meant
to be the bare minimum drivers required to install (and fit in 1.44mb).
The vfd only contains network and block drivers so that you can install
the system and grab the full set of drivers from the ISO or another
location. Later versions of Windows can install using the ISO for
drivers and do not need the vfd at all.
