got it. i think i read thru that page too quickly before. since the images are there, and all i need to do is to effectively reconfigure the domUs, i think i will do that manually. that will accomplish two things: a) force me to document how i set them up better, and b) drive me to understand some aspects of this better… :} fortunately i had hosed up my dev host and dev VMs, and was smart enough to catch this mistake before i broke the production ones :} thanks again for all the help. r. -- /*************************************************************************/ Russ Gritzo email: rgri...@gmail.com /**************************************************************************/
