## See : https://developer.fedoraproject.org/tools/virt-builder/about.html

## Required for virt-builder ::
# dnf install libguestfs libguestfs-tools libvirt-daemon-config-network
# ->> libguestfs-1.30.6-2.fc22.x86_64 ...
# ->> without the libvirt-daemon-config-network, the bridging network thing doesn't get set up properly

# Into /etc/dnf/dnf.conf add : "keepcache=1" (test this)

## Running this script the first time takes an extra ~10mins to download

# How much guest memory we need for the build:
export LIBGUESTFS_MEMSIZE=4096

# Run virt-builder.
