Hi Edison,

Do you have any more information on how to do this?

However, there seem to be several further steps which would be needed in
order to install the agent on a machine, e.g.:
* Add jars (e.g. jna) to the system, and add the jar to the classpath in
run.sh
* Move cloudutils python packages to python site-libs dir
* Create init scripts in /etc/init.d/

These are just the steps off the top of my head - it seems like a lot of
fiddly manual work, so I'm guessing I must be missing something. Assuming a
vanilla Ubuntu 12.04 install, and assuming that you have kvm-agent.zip, are
the steps for install listed in a wiki / doc anywhere?

Thanks,
Dave.
