-live CD inspection
+Can we combine this with ability to set and read environment
+variables?  Currently guestfish uses many environment variables like
+$EDITOR without any corresponding ability to set them.

+ set EDITOR /usr/bin/emacs

+ edit /etc/resolv.conf

+live CD inspection for Windows 7
+--------------------------------
+
+Windows 7 install CDs are quite different and pretty impenetrable.
+There are no obvious files to parse.
+
+More ntfs tools
+---------------
+
+ntfsprogs actually has a lot more useful tools than we currently
+use.  Interesting ones are:
+
+ntfslabel: display or change filesystem label (we should unify all
+  set*label APIs into a single set_vfs_label which can deal with any
+  filesystem)
+
+ntfsclone: clone, image, restore, rescue NTFS
+
+ntfsinfo: print various information about NTFS volume and files
+
+ntfs streams: extract alternate streams from NTFS files
+
+ntfsck: checker for NTFS filesystems
+
+Undelete files
+--------------
+
+Two useful tools:
+
+  - ext2undelete
+  - ntfsundelete
+
+More mkfs_opts options
+----------------------
+
+Useful options to offer:
+ - Set label.
+ - Set UUID.
+
+Use /proc/self/mountinfo
+------------------------
+
+This file contains lots of interesting information about
+what is mounted and where. eg:
+
+  16 21 0:3 / /proc rw,relatime - proc /proc rw
+  17 21 0:16 / /sys rw,relatime - sysfs /sys rw,seclabel
+  18 23 0:5 / /dev rw,relatime - devtmpfs udev rw,seclabel,size=1906740k,nr_inodes=476685,mode=755
+  26 21 253:3 / /home rw,relatime - ext4 /dev/mapper/vg-lv_home rw,seclabel,barrier=1,data=ordered
+
+This could be used instead of current hairy code to parse the output
+of the 'mount' command.  We could add new APIs to return kernel mount
+options, type of filesystem at a mountpoint etc.
+
+guestfish drive letters
+-----------------------
+
+There should be an option to mount all Windows drives as separate
+paths, like C: => /c/, D: => /d/ etc.

+More inspection features

+- For Linux guests, use /etc/favicon.png if available, else get it in

+Integrate event log parsing more closely
+----------------------------------------
+
+https://rwmj.wordpress.com/2011/04/17/decoding-the-windows-event-log-using-guestfish/
+
+We should at least make sure the tools are packaged up for Fedora.  We
+could document formally how to do event log parsing.  Also the above
+only works for Windows Vista and later (since the log format changed),
+so we could extend this to work for earlier versions.
+
+Integrate virt-inspector with CMDBs
+-----------------------------------
+
+Either integrate virt-inspector with Configuration Management
+Databases (CMDBs) or at least check that virt-inspector produces the
+right range of data so that integration would be possible.  The
+standards for CMDBs come from the DMTF, see eg:
 
-Could this be done through the core API and existing calls?
