Per, Ok. I was hoping there was something realatively straightforward to change. I've also been working on a new approach to use KVM with Fedora 7. I've been able to use Revisor to create a custom Install CD image and used that with virt-manager to create a virtual machine. However, I've run into a wall with virt-manager's insistance on using only private IP address space. Your suggestion to dump the result to xml and modify that seems like it might work, except I can't get virsh to work: # virsh dumpxml test_vm error: failed to connect to the hypervisor error: no valid connection Where test_vm is the name of my virtual machine in the Name column of the virt-manager GUI. It doesn't make a difference whether or not the virtual machine is running at the time. - David On 8/22/07, Per Hjartoy <per@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > David, The configuration has changed quite a bit between F5 and F7.
