Hi Glenn, Thanks for the write up, I have a question/comment about "Stage 5" in the text write up.

You mentioned that the process in similar to the slim_cd construction steps minus the iso and usb creation steps. I think that it would be best to just use the current im-pop step to install the packages, and then, reboot the Guest to let the rest of the configuration happen naturally. --Karen > > When installation/configuration of the appliance is completed, DC will shutdown > the guest (init 5).
