Hi, the libguestfs library uses a number of external tools; for some of them, we search for them at build time, enabling some feature only if found, and later on assuming at runtime they are installed.

I keep getting surprises in some rpm not in the repo, but if I dig I will find it (but php-imap is NOT built yet and that I need).

I changed the initrd to 2.6mb and that memory block is still exactly at 23852 / 14464 / 14464. Actually the process size is around 12 mb when pygrub is counting down to boot, then jumps up to 14+ mb

I am building a mailserver and with all the steps, I want to image the drive at various 'checkpoints' so I can go back and redo from a particular point. The image is currently only 4GB on a 120GB drive. Fdisk reports: Disk /dev/sdb: 111.8 GiB, 120034124288 bytes, 234441649 sectors Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size

Previous patch contained a typo. Changed output_format -> output_filename. Rich.

A couple of patches cleaning up the -i ova code. These are both just refactoring (or should be at any rate). The second patch is best viewed with 'git show -w' to exclude whitespace changes. Rich.

Avoids the warning: libtoolize: Remember to add 'LT_INIT' to configure.ac. This is the new name for AC_PROG_LIBTOOL, so I removed that. However to use this macro we must enable AC_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS.
