OK.  I'd got the impression that 'virsh autostart' used to work but
didn't any more.  Obviously I got it backwards.  I'm like that with
time.  ;-S

OK, so it IS still the configuration file bit; you just have to be
trickier with where the configuration file is.

Thanks!!!

So I noticed, but by that time I didn't want to go back and re-install
b108.  We'll see whether a future build changes my mind.  ;-)

But my point was - this is one of the, OK not first, but second or third
things people programming with shell variables are supposed to learn.
So how come half the variables were unquoted???  ;-(

The examples in the docs showed SXCE in PV mode.  I guess I wanted HVM
mode to completely isolate the Linuces from the SXCE Dom0.

And, yes, I'm thinking that was likely why the Fedora 10 VM was so slow.

Nope - every time I've re-booted the hardware, it's there.  I'll look
for post-install stuff: I saw some somewhere and maybe that's it.  Yes,
my memory is of the documented post-install stuff asking for a keyboard
language/type, now that you mention it.  But my memory is not
photographic, so I'll have to find it again.


> Any reason your not running the guests as PV?


As I said, to isolate the Linuces from the underlying SXCE.  And to show
that it worked.
