We could introduce a new OS relationship for this purpose. eg Have a general OS for 'vista', and then add further OS for the variants. I imagine each would have the same supported hardware, so hardware info could go into the generic 'vista' OS, but we could record the different install media paths in the variants <os id="http://microsoft.com/vista/client";> <short-id>vista-client</short-id> <name>Microsoft Windows Vista Client Edition</name> <version>6.0</version> <vendor>Microsoft</vendor> <variant id="http://microsoft.com/vista"/> <media> ... </media> </os> Daniel -- |: http://berrange.com -o- http://www.flickr.com/photos/dberrange/ :| |: http://libvirt.org -o- http://virt-manager.org :| |: http://autobuild.org -o- http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/ :| |: http://entangle-photo.org -o- http://live.gnome.org/gtk-vnc :| _______________________________________________ virt-tools-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/virt-tools-list
