Basically if you grep the code for "qemu" or "xenfv" in both cobbler and koan, you'll see all the places you'll want to touch. It's pretty easy, really. The main effort will be in creating the equivalent to "qcreate.py" or "xencreate.py" in koan that instead creates a VirtualBox VM, though these use libvirt, you could use these as a basis. There's also a vmware creator that (roughly) achieves the same, with a bit less capability, not using libvirt. If you have any further questions let us know. --Michael > All the best, > > :) > Dale > > = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = > Dale E.
