Description of problem:

Please add a link to the kvm minimum requirements.

What I do not see here is how iptables needs to be running w/ masquerading

Hey Lana!
So.. I know I'm being a little brief here and that is partially by design.  To be successful w/ Aeolus, the server must meet the same hardware/software requirements as a machine setup for kvm virt guest installs.  Some of the requirements are linked in the description of the bug.

AFAICT there are three things to be mindful of.
KVM requires..
1. hardware specs .. cpu/bios etc..
2. software specs
3. networking and firewall

All three are also minimum specs for aeolus.  We should pull the requirements directly from the kvm documentation I think. 

Let me know if you need more information.
