Arif,
When you've built the xcat-core
and xcat-dep pkgs for ubuntu then we can work together to get
them uploaded to https://sourceforge.net/projects/xcat/files/
so people can try it out. We should establish both an online
repository and downloadable tarballs of the deb pkgs. Let me
know when you want to work on that.

We'll have that once I have something stable
I will need to merge the 2 pieces of documentation already on
the wiki
(mine, and the IBM teams doc), to something a bit better.
Maybe have a rolling update documentation which get's updated
with all
the fixes being updated like the Wish List on the wiki
