How to install a new base image?

I have created an Ubuntu base image that will have software installed on top
of it. I have gone through the steps of creating a new entry in the database
(patterned after the "Create a Windows Base Image" page of the wiki), but I
don't know where to put the image for the VCL software to find it. In other
words, the wiki page only describes the creation of the image and how to
configure the database, not how to get the VCL software to find it and
incorporate it. How is that done?

Hello Mark,

Apologies for the delayed response. I've put up an initial doc on creating 
a linux base image.
<http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/VCL/Create+a+Linux+Base+Image>

Please review and let me know if it makes sense. Also note in a future 
release we are planning to streamline the capture of a node so one doesn't 
have to insert data directly into the database.
