Hello all,

I'm interested in automate linux guests installation. First I haven't 
been able to guess if the gfxboot issues with Ubuntu have been solved 
(changelog searching has given zero results), so I thought about 
installing a debootstrap system in a file mounted in loopback mode. 
would be KVM able to boot a file like this? Second I might be having to 
do a bunch of installations in soon future and I'm not interested in 
doing it from CD, is there any way apart cloning the images and 
reconfiguring them after booting?

Thank you very much in advanced, Regards
    Miguel
