I'm running XP under KVM (obviously you need KVM capable hardware), and it works fine, but when installing under fedora 11, the virt-manager tool didn't create an ACPI capable KVM, so I couldn't shutdown the machine via normal shutdown menu item. I eventually re-installed, telling virt-manager I was installing vista (which did get ACPI). I run smb on fedora and auto mount a network file system in the XP box to get access to more storage than the small virtual disk I setup during the install. The virt-manager tool does support USB pass-through, but my one attempt to test it didn't work very well. I tried passing my all-in-one HP photosmart device to it, and XP just bluescreened randomly whenever it was connected :-). You also don't get much in the way of emulated video. I tried accessing ESPN-360 since they don't support linux, and the installer said the video wasn't good enough. As far as access to the outside world goes, I destroyed the default NAT based network, and created a bridge, which works much better for my - my virtual machines act just like any other machines in my local network. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
