+### What ? 
+
+    * This repository contains kickstart files for Phyllome itself and its RPM-based guests.
+
+### Examples
+
+* With a remotely hosted kickstart file, install a minimal Linux RPM-based operating system automatically on an UEFI-based, Q35 PCI-Express virtual motherboard with virtio-devices.
+
+Adjust settings according to your needs
