Hi, Since I've already been messing with such images I kind of know what I need: 1 - acpid, so virsh reboot/shutdown will work 2 - cloud-init for openstack images; also it would be nice if the image could resize itself at first boot 3 - nano & wget to make the life easier for newbies I don't think it's worth the effort to build Centos LAMP images, since it's just Centos minimal + "yum install httpd mysql-server php-mysql etc". -- Sent from the Delta quadrant using Borg technology!
