Let me know how things work out for you with it. I wound up having to
reload my system from scratch after thoroughly destroying it trying to
install Lotus Notes 8.0. <rant>What a piece of cr*p application!</rant>

Anyway, since I'm doing a fresh install of 64-bit F8, I'm going to not
install KVM for now and install 6.0.2. However, I also found that the
old problem of having to re-run vmware-config.pl after every reboot
seems to be back. Hopefully my reload will fix this. If not, I'll be
looking for an answer to it...

Cheers,

Chris
