At the moment none I guess. The message is that the client cannot find a
driver.  I have virtio-win-0.1-74.iso and virtio-win-0.1-81.iso on the
hypervisor host.  How do I get the driver from there into the guest?  Does the
client have access to the hypervisor's file-systems?  Do I mount the ISO as a
cd-rom in the guest?  How is that done?  In virt-manager?  Is there a document
somewhere that I can get an idea on how this is supposed to work?

Bear in mind that other than the occasional configuration and diagnostic issue
I have very, very little experience with MS-Win since XPsp3 and none at all in
running it as a guest on KVM.
