This raises a (purely theoretical question) ... how many people are using
Cobbler+koan today to manage a library of virt images?

I suspect it is rather small relative to the kickstart use cases.

I can't remove the feature (nor do I want to), but I would be interested in
knowing how widely it is deployed.

(For those not aware, the idea here was to be able to put a library of (say,
Windows) virt images out on NFS and make it easy to start them up with koan,
including keeping the virt parameters for them (and so forth) in Cobbler.)

I would love to use this feature but as I understand the current state of 
things,
koan only supports installing windoze virtual machines on kvm. Currently
we are using xen.

Am I wrong about this?


You are correct about this. IIRC, the Xen fullvirt install mechanism in libvirt worked a bit differently, thus it is only supported in KVM. If someone wants to try to get Xen fullvirt working similarly, that would be interesting.

I need to get some windoze virtual machines up and running soonish. If I could
do that using cobbler and koan that would be a really good thing.

Regards,
