After installing PyXML I can now use xen new, but I see it doesn't work like I hoped it would work. It can't read the config files that were created by virt-manager. There is an option -F for using "sxp" config files and I was assuming that might be the correct one, but it's not working either (it always says the file is not there, although it is). Is there a conversion tool or are we supposed to convert manually? Kai -- Kai Schätzl, Berlin, Germany Get your web at Conactive Internet Services: http://www.conactive.com
