Actually, I think a lot of this stuff is just hidden (the latest gnome gui design philosophy seems to be "never make anything obvious" :-). When you "Open" a virtual machine, the "Details" tab has an "Add Hardware" button you can navigate through many panels (designed with the gnome philosophy) and eventually find a add physical device of the USB variety. I've never tried it, but I did see it while poking around, so I don't know how well it works. Also, in "Add Hardware" if you follow the "Storage" path, you'll eventually get to a dialog where you can define new "storage pools". (Of course, as near as I can tell, this means you need to define a virtual machine first before you can define a new storage pool :-). By the way, unless some recent update has fixed it, you'll want to say you are installing Windows Vista even if you are actually installing XP - this way virt-manager will design a machine with ACPI support, without which, you won't be able to get XP to shutdown. All the above comments are for fedora 11, but I think virt-manager is pretty similar in 12. -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
