Hi Daniel,
Thanks for the feedback. I have two questions:
1. Is it available in Havana?
2. Is it possible to to say that the glance image should be fetched to a
CDROM device (and disk file named 'iso'), and the root disk should be
created blank according to the flavor settings (disk file named 'disk')
Best regards,
