Good Idea. How should they id/decrement the value? One by one or 
doubling the Value?

I look into that. Have You an Idea how we could optimize the choosing of 
cd-rom and cd-rom-image.

Thanks.

I'd like to keep the Panel as easy as possible, so "normal" Users won't 
be destracted by to much options.
Probably I'm gonna ad '-localtime', '-smb', and 
'-user-net'/'-dummy-net', since I activate them by default.

I'm thinking of a new way to store the images and saved VMs, too.
Maybe we could make something like vpc: A package with the config, 
disk-images and saved VMs, located in ~/Documents/QEMU PCs/

any Ideas?
