I'm trying to find the stable / current oVirt-live ISO to download.

According to the official documentation, it looks like there is only the legacy 
4.1 ISO, or nightly / unstable builds of 4.2(.2?)?

Alternatively, if one is to deploy the 'self-hosted-engine' on top of CentOS 
7.4, the documentation doesn't make it clear what you should vs shouldn't setup 
on the host prior to deploying the hosted engine.

For example, some big questions pop up around networking, e.g.:

- Should I be setting those up during CentOS's install using the installer 
(which I believe configures them with Network Manager), or should I be setting 
up the ifcfg files manually by hand without touching Network Manager via the 
server's remote console after the install has finished?

- Is it OK for me to setup my first two NICs in a mode 1 (A/P) or 4 (XOR) bond 
(these are connected to a 'dumb' switch and provide internet access and later 
will be used for management activities such as vm migrations).

- Is it OK for me to setup my second two NICs in a LACP bond (required as they 
connect to our core switches) and to add VLANs on top of that bond, include the 
storage VLAN required for iSCSI access which is later required to host the 
hosted-engine?

I think the hardest thing is that the documentation for oVirt seems very poorly 
maintained, or it's at least scattered around various links or different guides.

Perhaps this isn't obvious to people that are already familiar with the 
components, terminology and setup practises of oVirt / RHEV, but for someone 
like me coming from XenServer - it's confusing as anything.
