Hello,

Whenever I have to install a new virtual machine I usually use dd or even more often copy the files of a preinstalled distribution skeleton... it works. But, the disadvantage of this is that I have to first install at least one on a real machine before I can grab the files and start deploying virtually ... is there some way to boot directly from an install CD and install the VM just as if it was a real machine with a CD-ROM drive?

Sorry if this is something trivial - I looked in the documentation and but I just can't find how to do it for some reason.

Thank you,
Tomas
