looks much better now -

# koan --virt --image=win-xp --server=192.168.11.1
- ISO or Image based installation, always uses --virt-type=qemu
- no virt-type specified, auto-selecting qemu
libvirtd (pid 2313) is running...
- using qemu hypervisor, type=qemu
- running: /bin/mount -t nfs -o ro 
192.168.11.1:/var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/windows /tmp/koan_6eIz11.mnt
after install completes, you may unmount and delete /tmp/koan_6eIz11.mnt
- adding disk: /opt/qemu//Thu_Jan__8_21_42_32_2009-disk0 of size 10
libvir: QEMU error :
libvir: QEMU error :
use virt-manager and connect to qemu to manage guest: 
Thu_Jan__8_21_42_32_2009

Sorry for wrong list - mixup with my folders

thanks
