I built the appliance on a rawhide machine using the 0.0.5 tools
presently in rawhide.  I pointed the ks file at F10, though, so
the appliance is F10 internally.

I tried two things:

1. Run the appliance on a rawhide machine which is stuck on the
   F10 kernel.  This didn't work because libvirtd isn't setting
   up the default network.  I haven't investigated further yet,
   since presumably it will work again when I can use the rawhide
   kernel.

2. Run the appliance on a pure F10 machine.  That's when
   I discovered that the appliance is missing the initrd, as
   shown below.

Make sense?
