I see. This situation is great if someone wants to move 1 VM from Hyper-V
(for example) to a laptop or to a workstation where he/she is using
virt-manager.

I got 2 more questions:

   1.  Is it possible to add to the virt-p2v-make-disk program a parameter
   to add kernel parameters? (right now I have to create the image and edit
   manually the grub.conf file in the image in order to edit them) - this
   could help in situations where someone cannot setup PXE.
   2. Is there a way to create the image as a bootable ISO? Hyper-V for
   example, doesn't like standard "hard disk" images. I see that kiwi has this
   functionality, but it's only for SuSE.

Thanks again
