Hi, Please, forgive me if I'm chiming in, missing the point.
I just want to comment on the fragment below. >> This gave me hope regarding being able to build and use vm's but >> it seems the page presupposes a considerable amount of >> understanding I don't have. I recently found myself in the same situation, and had to spend some amount of time figuring out how to make it tick. Eventually, I got kvm and networking ticking and decided to write about my findings. * http://www.ribomation.com/2008/09/23/virtualization-ubuntu/ * http://www.ribomation.com/2008/11/20/convenient-installation-of-ubuntu-kvm/ Perhaps, the first entry can be of some help for people starting fresh with virtualization.

I haven't a clue. It produces a window which displays a machine boot sequence, which is what I expect to see. There's clearly large gaps in my understanding of what's going on. The sequence described at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/JeOSVMBuilder "This page aims at documenting how to a create virtual appliance using Ubuntu Server Edition's JeOS and vmbuilder." This gave me hope regarding being able to build and use vm's but it seems the page presupposes a considerable amount of understanding I don't have. > You aren't > passing any parameters, other than the actual img/qcow2 to use. > Wouldn't it be better to launch it via "virsh", using the .cfg file that > the vmbuilder generated? Where would I find that file?
