I am using kvm, and the hosts system is running Fedora 10 64-bit, but the
libvirt xml files say the arch is i686 for the spawned vms.  My distro is
64bit in cobbler (the vms are Fedoa 10 as well).  So I am thinking that the
arch for the kvms needs to be 64 bit.  I will try to get them to spawn
64-bit systems, is this something I need to specify in koan as well?  My
current koan command(s) look something like this:

koan -v -T qemu -V mail -s 192.168.46.234 -B br0 -y mail
