One option w/o the GUI -- the virt-install command. Try something like # virt-install --cdrom win7.iso --name=test.com --ram=768 --disk=/var/lib/libvirt/images/abc.img,size=10 For a 10GB virtual hard drive. The virt-install command is pretty forgiving; if you get some things right, it prompts for needed info. If you do choose to go with the Virtual Machine Manager GUI -- in RHEL 6, the RPM is named virt-manager. Hopefully Slack uses something similar.
