Thought that these are most important and useful config files in a VM.
Below is quoted from whom gave me these requirement:
"
Motivation
virt-sysprep command is simple and useful command for deploying VMs.
So, we hope its enchance.
Though we know guestfish can be used for removing these files too,
(by writing script, etc)
currently it is not good for normal users by the following reasons.
guestfish cannot handle errors appropriately.
- When user uses interactive mode of guestfish, it may abort when
error occurs.
- When user uses batch mode of it, it may ignore error.
- Its error message is too noisy (ex, when the specified file is not
present.)
"
How about the 'virt-sysprep --script' parameter?

Although this uses FUSE, which is also less than ideal, it is
well-tested and the error behaviour is under user control.
