yes thanks - i have been using this fine for a few months now with 
'real' systems so it was assigning IP's to a virt system that was 
slightly puzzling me. So i take it that i can add a system and just omit 
the reference to the mac address and then reference that system to koan 
to get the virt machine installed.
