Boxes is a GNOME 3 application that aims to make management of virtual and remote machines very easy. As an important part of that goal, Boxes not only makes it possible to create a virtual machine in a few clicks, given an installation media but it also gives user a choice to launch automated (AKA unattended) installation of operating system in question on it. Such an installation require minimum user input at the beginning and none during installation.

The presentation will start with a brief introduction to Boxes and automated installations with the help of live demos from an end-user's perspective. Next, application developers in the audience shall be explained how they can easily add support for automated installations in their applications using libosinfo. In the end we go behind the scene and see how support for new operating systems can be added to libosinfo (and therefore every application using it).
