LMCE 0810 virtualized on Ubuntu 9.04 and KVM

work in progress

inspired by http://forum.linuxmce.org/index.php?topic=8233.0
installed Ubuntu 9.04 alternate amd64, basic text system
downloaded kernel 2.6.30.4 from kernel.org, build according to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/GitKernelBuild
install kvm and stuff: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM/Installation
install kubuntu 8.10
- download kubuntu 8.10 i386 desktop .iso
- create an image file (qemu-img create -f qcow lmce0810.img 25G) or use an empty and unmounted partition (that's what I'm doing in the following)
- create a file (lmce0810.xml) with the description for your domain:

- on the shell: virsh --connect qemu:///system
- in virsh: define lmce0810.xml, start lmce0810
- connect via VNC and do the installation
