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...
