hi,
almost every desktop install for CentOS-7 includes, boxes. The app to help setup and manage virt instances. However we dont seem to actually do anything to make it usable out of the box.
should we ? if so, what would that be ? would pre-seeding an image list in there be a worthwhile exercise ?

Hi,
Just for your info, I totally failed to understand boxes, and reverted to using the previous libvirt stuff to managed virtual environments. It¹s pretty, but utterly incomprehensible.
Having something to enable QEMU/KVM boxes to be set up would be useful. I assumed that the whole boxes thing meant that they¹d desupported QEMU/KVM but I found it easy enough to go back to that stuff.
Yours,
Clint Redwood

that about sums up the first 10 min of my experience with boxes as well. hence my post asking if we might make it possible / easier for people to consume by adding in some content, pre-seed the box's lists etc.
with virt-builder+virt-manager, i suspect most of what boxes does can be done via virt-manager as well, maybe just takes a bit longer.

Well boxes is supposed to sit on top of QEMU/KVM not replace it. GNOME being GNOME they just wanted a different front end.
