Jesse, that got it.  I just installed F9 in an image there.

Now, how can I set the correct context for where I need to store my 
images?  I have several vm image directories on different filesystems so 
that the vm's are not competing for the same drive all the time.  Is 
just doing a 'chcon -t virt_image_t ./imagedir' enough to set the 
context of the images directories?

Also, one last problem is that neither network service nor 
NetworkManager seem to be able to get a dhcp connection to the lan in 
the guest.  I selected shared network using br0(eth0) during image 
creation but all I get in the guest is network unreachable.  Is there 
some trick you need to do in the guest?

Regards,
Gerry
