Cool, I know I should try. I rely on vbox instead of virt-manager, because
it is much more multi-platform and in my 'irreal' life I have to cope with people
having all kinds of OSes and vbox seems to me easier when you need to
provide a common look-and-feel from the installation onwards
(once you overcome the quirks of the closed OSes)
But sure, I'll take a look at virt-manager too :-) Let's see how that plays with
cloud-init.
Best, /PA
