Creating a virtual machine

This is rough.

Run virt-manager

virt-manager

Click New

Enter a hostname (end it in sshchicago.org, please)

Choose "Local install media"

Choose "Use ISO Image:", and browse to an ISO (the Browse Local button lets you view the local filesystem)

Chose the OS info accordingly

Choose appropriate resources

On Step 5 of 5, expand Advanced Options. Copy the MAC address to your clipboard.

Log in to the pfSense box, and go to DHCP Server, flip to the LAN tab (or click http://172.16.0.1/services_dhcp.php?if=lan )

At the bottom, find "DHCP Static Mappings for this interface."

Click the + sign

Fill out MAC Address, IP address (choose anything free), and Hostname.

Click Save, then Apply Changes

Go back to virt-manager, click Finish

You should be able to use virt-manager to finish your install.
