I don't see where this argument is leading to. So far there are arguments that qemu/kvm sucks as a desktop virtualization, now suddenly the gui tools are shitty and everything should be done cli , because there's no man pages for virt-manager.

Because I suspect Ingo, like me, is a command line user, launching a gui to start kvm when there is a kvm command around just sounds daft. Also, I just installed and tried it, virt-manager is a total piece of shit, I wouldn't even know how to begin telling it how to start my freshly baked kernel with serial console on stdio and some block image I just created from the gentoo stage3 tarball. That is, after 5 minutes clicking I have no idea how to even launch an ISO with the thing, I prefer reading the kvm manpage over using some mouse only gui crap like that. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
