<div dir="ltr">Ok, more progress..<div><br></div><div>I gave up on the tools I was using yesterday. "Europa" is there and running but completely dead-stick. So I did a little more digging and found "UVTOOL", which seems to be much easier. I was able to quickly download an image from the cloud and then built a VM with it. I could connect to the VM with no issues, until I changed the VM's IP and that seemed to mess things up. But I now have a "proof of concept" and I will try to show a little more planning before building the next VM. I'm going to try to erase all of the files connected to the latest VM and start with a clean slate.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I need to find a way to wipe Europa from the host cleanly (the files are gone but it still shows up under uvt-kvm list). Despite the failures this is still fun!</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks to the gang for the great help so far! I will update you as things progress.</div>

One of the above should get you a console, and from there you can login, then do ifconfig to know what IP address it uses.<span><font color="#888888"><br><br> </font></span></div></div><span><font color="#888888">-- <br>
