======================== thanks arek, but I have been through that a million times, backwards and forwards. I do not have any issues making the storage, the files, the guests... I cannot, in the command line, bring up a video or text install for the guest installation though. It is almost like the user (I am root) is not allowed access to the video device. I have installed x windows group and no go for any video, bounces out with errors. If I go full desktop, I can easily install a guest with a video interface. The virt host packages default install should be enough for me to do it...yet I get bounced out of any video attemtpt, even text install, with 'cannot open display' and things like that. There is obviously something I am missing. Perhaps this is only meant to be used remotely via ssh-x tunnel and not a local install. The errors I get are all over the net, many listed in bugzilla but shown not to be bugs, yet no answers. There has to be a way to get a video or text install locally from the default virt host package without installing x windows system, gnome, or kde....although many little bits of those packages were installed. it really feels like my user is not allowed to go into a graphic view of anything relating to guests. at least not locally (the only way I would rather do it, do not know how to x-tunnel and all that) _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
