<html><body> Hi, I am trying to understand what will it take to create, deploy and activate a new thincrust appliance. Do you think following steps will work? 1. Install prerequisite virt tools (libvirt-python, virtinst etc.). 2. Install appliance-os. 3. Install appliance-tools 4. Create a kickstart file for the appliance. 5. Build appliance from kickstart file. 6. Launch the image using virt-image. Will the above steps generate puppet recipe file? If not, How do I create one. If yes, Which step created it. I guess the recipe file needs to be installed on the appliance machine. How does it get installed there? Thanks Sharad Mishra System x Enablement Linux Technology Center IBM</body></html>
