[Spice-devel] Fedora 17 Guests for Desktop Virtualization

[Nahum Shalman]

Below I've pasted a stripped down version of a kickstart file I used to 
get Fedora 17 working as a spice VM.
(original is at http://www.shalman.org/spice/fedora17.ks)

It gave me a working KDE VM.

A plain install of Fedora 17 seemed to freeze for me, but I haven't done 
any digging into the differences between that plain install and the 
stuff in this kickstart file (modified from an older version for Fedora 16).

Kevin, perhaps you could give this kickstart file (or the full original) 
a try and see if that helps (the install will still prompt for a few 
details)?

As an aside, it might be interesting for there to be a yum group that 
installs all the right packages for a VM that uses spice so that someday 
one could run "yum groupinstall spicevm" or put "@spicevm" in a 
kickstart file and have everything "Just Work"...
