Custom ISO

VirtFusion 3.1+ supports custom ISO URLs for end users. Custom ISO's will be streamed from a remote server (not downloaded on the host).

Important

Custom ISO support is disabled by default. Every effort has been made to make sure this feature is as secure as possible, however, the ISO is in the control of the end user. There is no guarantee that the ISO loaded will be a legitimate ISO image.
