[Libguestfs] Virtio-win RPM?

[Greg Scott]

Why don't I just set up an i386 F16 conversion server and as soon as I know how to capture the trace stuff we can try with it.  For Fredy - I'll give it an IP Address of ...0.58.

Matt ^^

How should Greg capture trace output from the virt-p2v process?

Fedora 16's inspection code has changed quite a lot (libguestfs 1.8 vs
1.14).  However functionally it should be just about the same.
