The dependencies, hand-config user-creation, and the creation of the ghost
files, can be done with a proper RPM -- which then means that two
installations (by different people) are able to help each other a bit
easier.  It may also help the original OT poster get a canned install with
little hand-monkeying, so easier to approach a canned ISO or a VM disk
image.

Paul, did you think of using the RPM, and indicating the shortfalls (such as
the perl dependencies that aren't portable to the host's RPM dependencies --
those always pop up) or other issues with the RPM?
