Jason, the GUI packages are not yet available in Fedora 17 because there
are two additional components that we can't build in Fedora because we
don't have GWT there yet:

1. The GenericServiceAPI EJB.
2. The GUI itself.

I prepared a hacky RPM containing those two components:

http://jhernand.fedorapeople.org/rpms/ovirt-engine-webadmin/3.0.0.0001-1

In that URL you will find the ovirt-engine-webadmin RPM. Download and
install it, then restart the engine service (systemctl restart
ovirt-engine.service).

If you prefer you can also download from the same location the
webadmin.tar.gz file and expand it in the
/usr/share/ovirt-engine/deployments/engine.ear directory (that is more
or less what the hacky RPM does).

You are probably the first person to test this, so expect issues. I will
be more than happy to hear from you and fix those issues.

Thanks for testing!
