# Purpose: Script to create/install a virtual machine (qcow2 disk)
#
# - If you need linux bridging, it should be configured on the host to
#   allow guests to be in the same subnet as hosts
#    - References:
#       - http://wiki.libvirt.org/page/Networking
#       - https://kashyapc.fedorapeople.org/virt/configuring-bridging-f19+.txt
# - The kickstart file contains minimal Fedora packages (@core)
# - This script also provides access to serial console to the VM
