Custom image
============

If you want to use a custom image, please keep the following in mind:

1. Per default configuration, the root account in the guests has a specific password. For example, Linux guests expect the password as defined in `virttest/shared/cfg/guest-os/Linux.cfg`.
2. The guest user's console configuration can have impact on the test code. We recommend to set `TERM=dumb` in case of `bash`. This suppresses control characters.
