I wasn't aware of thincrust & appliance tools until your email -
they look cool!
What, if any, is the relationship between these and oz? Does Oz use
them? Or are they totally independent and kind of competing
technologies? Or do they do different things?
They're completely different from Oz really, except that both can
use kickstart files for their automation.
appliance-creator is basically running yum in a chroot
and handling the kickstart config itself.
Oz boots KVM and runs the *real* installer in a guest,
providing it with the kickstart.
Due to its architecture, appliance-creator is doomed to only
ever supporting Fedora, where as Oz can support every OS that
is capable of running inside KVM.
