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

[Greg Buzzard]

Hmm... Maybe I overread.  Is the notion of "ability to create an appliance
for deployment on bare metal or VM" simply that the same kickstart file be
used with "appliance-creator" to make a VM appliance as used to do a
"kickstart" based install on any-old server (whether bare metal or not)?

Thanks...  Greg
