Would be nice to be able to create VMs that don't use up the full disk space.

You can do it from the panel already.

  1. Go to storage pool page on the server you want the instance on
  2. Make a qcow2 image for the instance you want
  3. Make a new custom instance using the qcow2 img you made.

An empty qcow2 is like 200KB

Ya but it would be nice to be able to click a check box to do this When creating templates.

This is not a good idea, because it is a "static" feature of the corresponding image format.

You can't simply switch it on or off without changing the image format.
