Alternatively, pass --nogfx to koan when you're installing and you'll be able to use virsh instead of VNC...
thanks for all the hints - i would like to not use X at all, locally or remote, if possible so i have used the --nogfx option and it works, sort of.
i seem to have some font issue - as the console appears like below which is pretty unreadable -
any hints? thanks W␊┌␌⎺└␊ ├⎺ R␊␍ H▒├ E┼├␊⎼⎻⎼␋⎽␊ L␋┼┤│ +--------------------+ C⎺┼°␋±┤⎼␊ TCP/IP +---------------------+ ≠ ≠ ≠ P┌␊▒⎽␊ ␊┼├␊⎼ ├␊ IP ␌⎺┼°␋±┤⎼▒├␋⎺┼ °⎺⎼ ├␋⎽ └▒␌␋┼␊.
