The ppm image, in case somebody's interested: http://23.251.155.37/fedora/ss/ Also, any tips viewing these? I just use display <image> but it's kind of odd that a 4 MB image shows only that. Maybe it's animated and I don't know?

Ok, playing around with the mighty oz-install now. https://github.com/renich/gce-images-fedora/blob/master/imagefactory/f20.tdl

Oh, please, check out my version of things here: https://github.com/renich/gce-images-fedora/tree/master/virt-builder I'd love a review by the creator! ;) I tried to keep the command not so bloated. I used a --firstboot command to put everything I could in the script. At least things that don't require scripts as parameters. The "build" is the command and "setup" is the script to follow; very much ike a post-install section on a kickstart.
