Virtualization liveCD Fedora spin?

Dear Internets,

Is there a Fedora virtualization liveCD of sorts in existance? I can't find one. Here's what I'm thinking.

Right now I have a virt machine under my desk, I would love to have it just boot off a usb stick or CD and fire up all the virtual machines that live on it. This would make my life quite a bit easier, as instead of having to worry about keeping the Host OS in order, all I have to do is power down, swap USB drives, power on and I'm running the latest and greatest virtualization goodness.

So all you need is the desktop spin + virt-manager right?

Mostly, yes that would work. Given the very limited use case though, I'd basically want this thing to boot up to a text console only (no X, it eats RAM), running nothing but libvirtd listening for TLS connections.

It won't be hard to do, I'm just lazy and hope someone else has already done it

That's probably something we'd offer in kickstart form, but not media to download, but with the KS it would be very simple to build one yourself and toss it on media.

I wouldn't mind having something like that myself.

Isn't that what http://ovirt.org was about?
