qemu-img create -fqcow2 image.qcow2 8G qemu-kvm -smp APPROPRIATE#ofVIRTUALCPUS -vga vmware -drive file=image.qcow2,index=0,media=disk,cache=writeback -m 1024 -net nic -net tap -serial stdio -vnc :10 first time for installation also with: -cdrom Fedora-14-x86_64-DVD.iso -boot d And when you need console access there: ssh -L 5910:localhost:5910 server and locally: vncviewer localhost:10 I do not think LiveCD brings any benefits over some minimal "disk" install and thus it is offtopic for this list. Easily scriptable, everything pre-installed or installable by yum. For GUI there is virt-manager but I find the commandline easier.
