<PRE>'Twas brillig, and Olav Vitters at 22/12/11 23:06 did gyre and gimble:
&gt;&gt;<i>From <A HREF="https://plus.google.com/109973678654056732542/posts/drB3U65Hptt">https://plus.google.com/109973678654056732542/posts/drB3U65Hptt</A>
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> &quot;Yeah, thats what I meant by 'unknown media' in my previous blog entry.
</I>&gt;<i> To make Boxes support your favourite distro as nicely as Fedora and
</I>&gt;<i> Windows, you need to:
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> 1. Put metadata about it in libosinfo's default DB (its simple and
</I>&gt;<i> intuitive XML files) with information about its latest media.
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> 2. Add unattended installation for it in Boxes. This will need some
</I>&gt;<i> hacking but its not as difficult at one might imagine. :)&quot;
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> Anyone willing to ensure Boxes works nicely with Mageia by submitting a
</I>&gt;<i> libosinfo XML file (upstream!) + ensure the unattended installation
</I>&gt;<i> works by hacking Boxes?
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> Bit swamped myself...
</I>
+1 for making sure this works OOTB for mga2!

Zeeshan is a good guy too. If you put a Star Trek reference in your
commit it pretty much will guarantee he'll accept it :D
