Is that possible? The two are unrelated. Any supported guest OS can be hosted on any supported host OS (modulo any bugs that might exist in the specific version of qemu on your host). > > How do I define the VM in virt-manager to boot from an ISO? I initially created the VM with virt-install, but I started over with virt-manager, and now I'm not sure how to specify the ISO to boot from. > When you are defining the new virtual machine, select "Import existing image", then select the ISO image. (If you instead select "Local install media (ISO image or CDROM), virt-manager will boot *once* from the ISO, then reconfigure the guest to boot from a hard disk the next time.) _______________________________________________ libvirt-users mailing list libvirt-users@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvirt-users
