Hi,
I have a query regarding re-usability of HVM guest images.

- I used virt-manager to install the distro in a guest (named "Fedora8_HVM") using Fedora8 bootable DVD as a fully virtualized guest with a file backed block device which created a file named "Fedora8_HVM.img"
- I did use the guest with VNC Server. Everything went fine.
- Then I removed the guest using xm delete Fedora8_HVM.img

My question is:

- How do you make use of the already built image "Fedora8_HVM" in future without having to build the whole distro again?

Regards

.V
