[Ovirt-devel] Can anyone help here

[mark wagner]

OK, so I reblew the system using a an F8 Live DVD. I yum'd in libvirt, kvm and some of there 
friends.  I used the networking setup from the email that Chris sent out the other day.  This time I 
was able to install the wui-application from the image.  It is now configured and running. :)

Tomorrow I'll try to actually bring up a guest...
