Why not provide a image that has root or non-root user with std. passwd ?
whats the problem with that ?
Why add the vagrant dep at all ? I understand Vagrant is widely used
but for those who don't want to use, a simple ready-to-consume image
would help better. It could also help in attracting more attention / crowd
:)
Also since cloud image is the most downloaded one, how about
providing a .iso file with pre-loaded user/passwd, so that people
willing to use cloud-image in non-cloud env (local, virt-mgr etc) can use
the iso file as the cloud-init data source ?
Last but not the least, pls provide a link on
getfedora.org for downloading
n-1, n-2 fedora cloud images, the last time i had a need, had to google
and eventaully had to download it from someone's blog/dropbox site
thanx,
