<p>
This script shows how to make a fresh virtual machine, installing an
operating system like Fedora or some Red Hat-derived operating system
such as <a href="http://www.redhat.com/rhel/">Red Hat Enterprise
Linux</a> or <a href="http://centos.org/">CentOS</a>.
</p>

<p>
It's fairly easy to modify this script to install Debian derivatives
too (even from a Fedora host),
using <a href="http://packages.debian.org/stable/admin/debootstrap">debootstrap</a>.
</p>

<p>
<i>After</i> running the script, you can boot the new virtual
machine by doing:
</p>

<pre>
qemu-kvm -m 512 -hda /tmp/vm.img
