Bug Description
There's no reasonable way right now for someone to set up an Invirt cluster without getting help from the Invirt developers.
The process is something like
- install Hardy on a fresh physical machine
- add "deb http://
- install invirt-host-master
- run invirt-install to make some system/management VMs (which? we know, but haven't documented)
- compose an /etc/invirt/
- boot up each sysvm, add master.yaml, install its respective metapackage (or metapackages, for master)
- hope everything works, figure out what broke, fix it
Much of this could be made simpler.

In an email thread I wrote:
""" master. yaml config file based on an example manual- config
I think we want it to be something like
- make an /etc/invirt/
- from an apt repo that we run, install invirt-host-master on one or
more hosts, together with an empty equivs package invirt-
that provides invirt-config
- run some as-yet-unwritten script to make an autoinstaller and sysvms;
invirt-install does the heavy lifting
but aside from the three pieces in that sketch that don't exist, there
are likely many other steps that a sysadmin would have to do to get
Invirt running as things stand.
