[Tfug] Kickstart Usage

[Nathan Hruby]

Normally I have a kickstart and pxe setup to leverage to make this
easy (eg: qemu will pxe, so just add mac address into your cobbler or
pxe setup as usual, boot it and go).  You can also put the ksfile into
floppy image and attach it to the vm.  I think it will even let you
NFS mount a filesystem with your ksfile now.

If you're using fedora, you might want to look at BoxGrinder, which
will automatically create a kickstart and build a usable disk image
for any number of virt types.

Vagrant, as mentioned, is also cool for this kind of stuff.

HTH,
