[Thincrust-devel] applicance-creator on FC10 to create CentOS 5 image

[Greg Buzzard]

I've seen a few references to the ability to create and deploy thincrust
appliances on bare metal as well as VMs.

I'd like to take the "appliance" I've created that runs on a VM and now
deploy it on bare HW.  What are my options, what do I need to do?

If there is separate material on creating bare metal appliances, please
point me at it.

Thanks...  Greg
