- virt-inspector livecd.iso

-Could this be done through the core API and existing calls?
-
-There is a soft requirement for this in virt-manager, where it would
-be nice to be able to prepopulate the operating system hints based on
-what sort of ISO the user is trying to install from.
-
-Several sorts of CDs:
-
-  - live CD
-  - install-only CD
-  - network install CD
-  - supplemental CDs with additional packages but not bootable
-    on its own
-
-Some CDs are formatted as ISO9660 and larger ones as UDF (DVD format),
-but they all are unpartitioned.
-
-Bootable Linux CDs have an /isolinux directory.
-
-Bootable EFI CDs have an /EFI/BOOT directory.
-
-Fedora live CDs have /images/install.img which is a squashfs
-containing an ext4 root.  We could consider mounting this and
-inspecting it separately, but it would be simple to get everything we
-need from other files in the CD directory.
-
-More recent Fedora install DVD has /.discinfo and /.treeinfo with some
-easy to parse information in it.
-
-Debian and Ubuntu CDs have a /.disk/info file which is the product
-string.  There are other interesting files in /.disk.  They also have
-a characteristic directory structure (eg. /dists, /pool/main) which
-looks like a Debian archive.
-
-Windows 2003 install CDs have some characteristic stamp files in the
-root directory, like: /win51 /win51ia /win51ia.sp2.  The main
-installation files (CAB files) are in /i386 directory.  The following
-files contain a lot of interesting information:
-
-  /i386/hivesft.inf
-  /i386/layout.inf
-  /i386/sis.inf
-  /i386/txtsetup.sif
+live CD inspection for Windows 7
+--------------------------------
 
 Windows 7 install CDs are quite different and pretty impenetrable.
 There are no obvious files to parse.

+Integrate event log parsing more closely
+----------------------------------------
+

+
+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:
