I don't really know what problem this solves as it is unnecessary in 100% of use cases as far as I can tell. It's not that I don't appreciate the thought behind it, but this will be problem for others I imagine as well. It's a VERY big inconvenience sometimes to visit a datacenter when you thought you had a rock solid remote setup in place. In defense of the current behavior, you can get basically the same behavior by setting up a PXE boot system, but that is not always desirable or convenient. Also all KVM's don't give the option to remotely load ISO's. -- Adam Vande MoreReceived on Sat Aug 21 2010 - 23:28:57 UTC
