+#!/bin/sh
+# this script is used to setup the hypervisor for KVM installations.
+# In order for this to work, you have to do the following:
+#
+# 1.  In your install template, make sure you add the following
+#     to your packages list :
+#     bridge-utils
+#     dnsmasq
+#     iscsi-initiator-utils
+#     kvm
+#     libvirt.x86_64
+#     gpxe-kvm
+# 
+# 2.  In order to get those packaes, you'll need to add the 
+#     xCAT-dep repo.  For our test we added the line:
+#     repo  --name=xcat-dep --baseurl=http://#TABLE:noderes:$NODE:nfsserver#/install/xcat/xcat-dep/rh5/#TABLE:nodetype:$NODE:arch#
+#     This line can be added after the url --url <blah> line
+#
+#  Once you have that, then the following scripts just set up kvm
+#  When the machine boots the first time you'll know it works if you can
+#  run the command: 
+#  virsh list
+#  You'll then see output like:
+# Id Name                 State
