So, I've been "off and on" on this today , and I had to fight a
strange ppc64 bug with anaconda and kickstart for f19/f20.
Current status is that I have kickstart working now for the
f19/f20/f21 ppc64 and f21 ppc64le.
So next question is how much VMs do we want/need for the initial
bootstrap ? IIRC we said something like F19 ppc64/ 4Gb/40GB disk (in
lvm) ? Correct me if I'm wrong .
How much VMs for that ? Depending on the number of builders (threads)
we'll have after that to think about common storage for repositories
and so on .. but let's start "easy".

Cheers,
