But that is where things went into confusion. The aboveWell, I meant it to demonstrate that the installation to the usb stick was a successful operation, but apparently I sowed confusion.
You did not sow confusion. My ignorance swamped everything. I have no experience with any type of virtulization.
In fact when I I initially read your post I understood it to imply that the flash drive could be transported to any machine. I did a Google search for "kvm qemu" {without quotes}. I browsed the first 50 hits without enlightenment. I reread your post and decided I didn't understand the situation.
made it appear as if you set up a system that needed kvm to *run*. If you had said you pulled the usb stick out and booted another system with it then all would have been clear.Thank you for the clarification.
