(c) Do you have a homebrew method to clone guests? What does it do?
I'm in the middle of devising a home brew clone script strictly for
a Windows XP machine KVM I sometimes need extra copies of.
I have a readonly qcow2 image I use as a backing file for making
new qcow2 images for the clones. I've manually changed the
computer name and default screen background and gotten diffs
showing the registry changes made (there are a fantastic
number of them, which was hard to believe).
I'm about try try using the virt-win-reg tool on one of the
new qcow2 images to modify the registry and give the machine
a new identity before I boot it (but I haven't quite gotten
around try trying it yet).
