In the last couple of days, I did a quick try:


what worked :

- I'm able to create a new 'box' and boot an F17 live iso image
- Was able to delete the just created 'box'


What's not working for me:

- Attempt to install the live-os to hard-disk fails w/ memory constraint (it sees only 500
MB of it, while we need more than 720 MB. But I wasn't able to specify the memory anywhere
though) .
       - side note: I have plenty of memory on the host.

- UI is often  unresponsive and wouldn't let me do anything. I try to go back, and go to
the centralized view, it hangs and segfaulted once for me:

------
[ 3085.175514] gnome-boxes[4367]: segfault at 18 ip 000000365ac11d2b sp 00007ffffa175bf0
error 4 in libvirt-gobject-1.0.so.0.0.7[365ac00000+1a000]
------


Once I get more time, will have to debug a little more & file a bug.
