[Users] Centos 6.5 host configuration script -- a tale begun

[Sven Kieske]

Hi,

first, thanks for this script!
I'll have to setup some CentOS 6.5 machines too, maybe it will help.
Here are some questions/improvements from me:

There's no need to use "localinstall" anymore, "install" is fine with
yum :-)

Then you install "virt-manager", for what purpose, may I ask?
I also never needed to manually create the ovirt-management bridge
has this behaviour changed in recent vdsm/CentOS Release?
