with something like KVM (kvm.sf.net) you could do fully automatic ISO
spinning, and then do a trial install automated into the virtual machine
(using kickstart) that then could "phone home" when finished.
It's a good QA thing, and it's a first step towards more frequent/more
reliable iso spins, but it's not a substitute for humans doing trial
installs/freezes :(
