Folks, thanks for all the information. It didn't occur to me that the management software, and then as a GUI, would be installed at the same time in one step. I always saw that as a separate area, and I always used virtual manager remotely. > So, a package set that might be more what you are looking for would be: > > qemu-kvm-core > libvirt-daemon-driver-qemu > libvirt-daemon-driver-network > libvirt-daemon-driver-storage-core > virt-install That looks way better, indeed. I'm just trying to figure out if this is all I need or what else is missing. > There are two comps groups for virtualization: Virtualization and > Headless Virtualization, but the "headless" group still pulls in the > full qemu-kvm and libvirt-daemon-kvm virtual packages, so a bigger > footprint with a bunch of GUI support. I just managed to find the virtualization-headless group, it’s hidden. Do you know why it is? Maybe we could create a group virtualization-really-headless and make it public. :-) Thanks for the quick info. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
