Possibly deleting the .disk/info file in the tree will help, but might just give you the same kernel/initrd paths. You can alter the command --location $URL,kernel=./relative/path/to/vmlinuz,initrd=./relative/path/to/initrd to point at a working pair relative to the URL, but no idea if koan provides that option. That's virt-manager 2.1.0+ though - Cole _______________________________________________ virt-tools-list mailing list virt-tools-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/virt-tools-list
