<p>You can do virt-manager remotely. Either connect to libvirt remotely through a locally running instance of virt-manager or via X11 forwarding. I do the 2nd method with no GUI installed on the server. See here for minimal packages needed... <a href="http://itscblog.tamu.edu/startup-guide-for-kvm-on-centos-6/">http://itscblog.tamu.edu/startup-guide-for-kvm-on-centos-6/</a> . I do that from a Mac. My home desktop is Linux so for that i only remote connect to libvirt with my user ( not root) account using PolicyKit. Instructions for that also on the link above.</p>

That's not my understanding. I watched someone else follow the procedure<br>

and I believe he started with the minimal installation on the host.<br>

thought I missed something and re-read....his next page says he is using<br>
netinstall and ....wait for it..<br>
connecting to remote server to get the media to install the guest..<br>
<br>
seems impossible I guess...gonna need to set up a home server for my<br>
production server to install guests..<br>
seems like an extraordinary waste of bandwidth to do it that way.<br>
