# Script to create/install unattended Virtual Machines (with bridging)
#
# 1 Note: Bridging should be configured on the host to allow guests to be
#   in the same subnet as hosts
# 2 Creting a bridge, refer this: http://wiki.libvirt.org/page/Networking
# 3 The kickstart file contains minimal fedora pkgs like core and text internet
# 4 Also adds a serial console
