+1 Here's a shell script (some details elided) I used to install Windows XP as a KVM-hosted VM: virt-install \ --name="WinVM" --ram="2048" --vcpus="2" \ --os-type="windows" \ --network="bridge:br0" --mac="54:52:00:XX:YY:ZZ" \ --disk="path=/var/lib/libvirt/images/WinVM.dsk,size=30"\ --cdrom="/usr/local/src/winxp-sp3.iso" \ --vnc --hvm --accelerate You'll need to update the various options for your local setup, of course, but otherwise it's a straightforward process. You'll get a VNC window for the installer GUI... -- Paul Heinlein <> [email protected] <> http://www.madboa.com/ _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
