[libvirt-users] virt-install Error

[杨镭]

The definition XML used by libvirt to create VM. It is usually located at
/etc/libvirt/qemu/$vm_name.xml

Actually, I never used virt-install. Instead virt-manager is used to
generate a definition XML, then I manually modify the domain type from qemu
to KVM.

However, this is a inconvenient workaround.
