#21 [Feature] Add QCOW Image

Feature: Add pre-made QCOW Image

Why?: Several reasons, the first one being that many hosting providers support custom OSes using QCOW (example).

Another reason is for testing purposes as VMs can be created and destroyed very quickly.

The third reason is efficiency, pre-made QCOW images are generally faster than importing an ISO as they can skip anything that is already provided by QEMU.

Hello,

This sounds interesting, I will try to see it in more detail and I will come back with an answer as soon as I can. Thank you.

Hello @selk!

This article describes how you can create and mount qemu image. Then you will need just copy files from the stage 1 and install bootloader ...

Thanks for pointing this out!

I will keep this in mind at release time.
