I just did a simple test to create a guest via Oz on Fedora 20 and it
just works. Here's my invocation details:

TDL file:

  $ cat f20.tdl
  <template>
    <name>$NAME</name>
    <os>
      <name>Fedora</name>
      <version>20</version>
      <arch>x86_64</arch>
      <install type='url'>
        <url>http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/20/Fedora/x86_64/os</url>
      </install>
      <rootpw>fedora</rootpw>
    </os>
    <description>Fedora 20</description>
  </template>


Invoke `oz-install`:

    $ oz-install -d 4 f20.tdl 2>&1 | tee f20.log


Once the install is done, define the libvirt XML for the guest and start
it:

    $ virsh define f20-jeos
    $ virsh start f20-jeos --console

"It's a wiki, be bold" :-). You can trivially make docs once you
login with your OpenID or other mechanisms listed on RDO wiki.
