All, I'm pleased to announce release 0.9.0 of Oz. Oz is a program for doing automated installation of guest operating systems with limited input from the user. Release 0.9.0 is a (long overdue) bugfix and feature release for Oz. Some of the highlights between Oz 0.8.0 and 0.9.0 are: - Easier to create Debian/Ubuntu packages - Ability to specify the disk size in the TDL - Ability to specify the number of CPUs and amount of memory used for the installation VM - Cleanup and bugfixes to oz-cleanup-cache - Ability to install Fedora-17 disk images - Ability to install guests as a non-root user. This has several caveats; please see the documentation on http://github.com/clalancette/oz for more information. - Ability to install RHEL-6.3 disk images - Ability to install ScientificLinuxCERN disk images - Ability to install Mandrake 8.2 disk images - Ability to install OpenSUSE 10.3 disk images - Ability to install Ubuntu 12.04 disk images A tarball of this release is available, as well as packages for Fedora-16. Instructions on how to get and use Oz are available at http://github.com/clalancette/oz . If you have any questions or comments about Oz, please feel free to contact aeolus-devel at lists.fedorahosted.org or me (clalancette at gmail.com) directly. Thanks to everyone who contributed to this release through bug reports, patches, and suggestions for improvement. Chris Lalancette

Let me know if you find any bugs :). Chris
