Moving to F16 target, the spin did not make it into Fedora 12 due to the current level of blacklisting.( RPM/file system blacklisting has been removed)
Detailed Description
oVirt Node is a small host image that provides libvirt service via KVM to hosts virtual machines. The Ovirt node can be run in standalone mode or in conjunction with different management servers. The ovirt Node Image is a livecd-based image that can be installed to the hosts physical storage, or run as a live image off a cd or usb key.
Benefit to Fedora
Easy way for users of Fedora and oVirt to download an oVirt Node image. This lessens the difficulty by not requiring the user to build an ISO image or being distributed in a RPM.
