Hello, I have a small request that I hope is reasonable. For testing VMs, I like to install VMs as non-root. However, if I want to install from a location that requires mounting, then installing becomes a bit of a hassle. I'd have to manually mount the location with sudo or root, then pass the mount point into "--location". It'd be nice of virt-install could elevated to root where necessary. Basically, something like the attached patch.
Are there other places where root is needed? I did a quick search, and mount/umount seem to be the only places that need root.
