If you have set up ace on your machine, then it will attempt to execute 
the puppet recipies against your local machine. These will work if the 
required packages are installed (see below).

Each applaince recipie is bundled into an RPM. This rpm continas all the 
depdencies for the recipe to work (for example, the drupal appliance 
will require that drupal be installed). Running the appliance creator 
will take these recipe rpms and turn them into a virtual machine for you.

Great.. glad to see that this worked. As you can see, the local install 
is more for rapid prototyping/debugging. To really test it out you need 
to build the actual appliance.

Please let us know if you have any additional questions.
