Sounds good.  That's just an extra Fedora mark useful for custom  
Fedora-based spins?

Sure thing.  The interesting bits are scattered about, but here's  
the .spec and .ks

	http://github.com/bobmcwhirter/thincrust-ace/tree/master/specs/jboxx5_appliance.spec
	http://github.com/bobmcwhirter/thincrust-ace/tree/master/resources/jboxx5Appliance-f9.ks

And my offensive jbossas.rpm:

Ultimately, I forsee multiple spins of jboxx appliances (and some non- 
jboxx appliances) when used in production.  A simple spin for AS-as-it- 
ships, but others for running cluster nodes, or web front-ends, or DB,  
etc.

I've obviously just git-forked the 'ace' repository, which seems like  
the suboptimal way to work with it all.  But I wasn't sure how much of  
ACE expected my stuff to be under/relative to ACEHOME.

ie, appliance-creator seems to insist on being run within resources/  
if it wants to find the splash xpm, etc.

Plus, I've noticed both you and myself have .ks with paths on our  
localhost to repositories.  Does kickstart support macros or  
variables, or is anyone interested in throwing erb or m4 into the mix?
