OK, more progress and a few more questions. |

In the virt-manager, I could not figure out how to add disk storage to |
41 |
the vm. I have a partition I can use for the disk storage -- is this |
42 |
different from the virtual machine image? |
43 |
|
44 |
Of even more importance, how do I bridge the vm onto my existing |
45 |
network? I have a nic for internal items named eno1 and another nic |
46 |
which connects to the outside world, I would like to bridge to the |
47 |
internal network, that would give the vm a dhcp address, etc. |

How do |
53 |
you spend it? |
