Re: easiest way to run a qcow2 image purely in the text console

[Nick Gawronski <nick@nickgawronski.com>]

Hi, Why do you say that it has nothing to do with accessibility as all 
of the documentation I can locate on kvm is based on using the graphical 
interfaces and for users who just want to do text based virtualization 
on linux I think more information is needed? I have done virtualization 
on windows before so do understand the concepts but am trying to use kvm 
in a purely text based mode and finding good tutorials on doing this 
currently I am unable to do so.  This is why I am suggesting on some 
information in the wiki on this topic like what packages are the most 
accessible to install both for the graphical desktop and the text based 
interface.  Nick Gawronski
