To run packstack, you just need a base RHEL install on each machine.  No
additional OpenStack packages are required.

Then on only one of those machines, you just need to install the
openstack-packstack RPM, create the config file, run packstack and it
takes care of the rest.

One note... RHOS Folsom Preview and Packstack will only work on RHEL
6.4.  There are dependencies that cannot be met by RHEL 6.3. so we had
to go with 6.4
