## mkvm

wrapper around virt-builder for quickly spinning up a VM

Prerequisites

---

There are some prerequisites before using `mkvm`. 

1. Install libguestfs-tools and virt-install: `yum install libguestfs-tools virt-install`

2. **Optional:** Setup an external repository of base images for virt-builder: http://libguestfs.org/virt-builder.1.html#sources-of-templates

3. Create a `.rhn` file in your `$HOME` and add your username and password to it. See **RHN** section below.

4. Create a static Virtual Network. http://wiki.libvirt.org/page/VirtualNetworking

4.1 You can use the setup/setup-net.sh script to do this for you.

5. Update the `mkvm.network` and `mkvm.resolv.conf` files to reflect your network configuration if you don't use the script.

6. **Optional:** Update `mkvm.ifcfg-eth0` if you need to fine tune some stuff.

7. **Optional:** Customize `mkvm.firstboot.sh` as needed.
