Greetings,

That's a good question.  Someone brought this point up earlier.  I was
going under the assumption that your "test system" would need to be a
bare metal system.  But given the nature of the VirtRemoteInstall
feature, I suspect it may be possible to run virt-manager from inside a
guest to connect to a virt-manager running on a bare metal system.

If you are able to try this, I'd be interested in hearing your results.

Thanks,
James
