[davehouse]

thank you! I have not used kitchen so this is a huge help to have it ready.

[aerickson]

For sure. :) I'll update the README.md with the howto I have above.

Should I just continue adding everything that the gecko-t-linux-talos/t-linux64-ms hosts in build-puppet have?

[davehouse]

Yes, I'm good with that.

Talked with Jake. This isn't 100% yet, but he thought we should land to avoid bit rot.
