Glad you find them helpful... The kickstart files are in place for koji
builds, but should be usable with anything that uses kickstart. I
believe koji is using appliance-creator to do the actual image builds.
Ah, okay - I'll poke at that.
Just a warning, there is some post work required for taking the
images
from appliance-creator -> EC2. Jay has been working on redoing scripts
to make them publicly consumable and they should also end up in the
cloud-kickstarts repo.
Cool. Even some rough notes in the wiki page on what the post-build work
involves would be great.
Thanks,
Mark.
