Thanks for that Dan, I downloaded the source RPM, but there isn't a clue on how to install it - I'm a python noob, so any advice on where to put the .py's would be great! thanks andy <div> On 02/11/06, Daniel P.

The mercurial repo is here: <a href="http://hg.et.redhat.com/virt/applications/virtinst--devel">http://hg.et.redhat.com/virt/applications/virtinst--devel</a> Or you can get the tar.gz from the src.rpm files in FC6.
