Currently, we support +auto-installation of Fedora and Windows systems, but we'd like +auto-installation of as many OSes as possible. + +Here is a rough overview of how this is handled: +* the user specifies the path to an ISO image +* we use libosinfo[2] to determine if the ISO is an installer, and the OS + it's an installer for. libosinfo comes with a tools/osinfo-detect util + to test what is known about an iso. The OS data for libosinfo is stored + in xml files[3] +* then gnome-boxes uses a FedoraInstaller class to setup a fedora + auto-installation.
