I never used virt-install and you were going on about how easy it was. Even you managed to get it wrong. You forgot and I never knew. I just copied and pasted what you stated several times would work. As a newbie would. ;o) As I said before, I am pretty *happy* with the way I create my VMs, and this thread isn't about how I create them. Getting a massive command-line right can be daunting, if you are new to the technology. That's just my opinion.
