+# Fedora 44 seed.iso
+
+This directory contains the cloud-init NoCloud configuration used by
+`run-fedora44.sh`. On first boot, cloud-init's package module installs Fedora's
+GNOME package group and reboots the guest.
+
+After changing `user-data`, `meta-data`, or `network-config`, remove the old
+`seed.iso` and rebuild it:
+
+```bash
+./seediso/fedora44/build-seed.sh
+```
+
+Use a unique `instance-id` when cloning this configuration for another VM.
