Installing VNUML over Fedora 7

Important note:
Do not use <consoles> with id=0 (use id="1" instead). For example, edit your scenarios and change: <console id="0">xterm</console> to: <console id="1">xterm</console> If you use console id="0" the scenarios will start and work normally, but the virtual machines will hang when stopping the scenario using "-d" option.

This HowTo describes how to install VNUML over a fresh Fedora 7 installation. Note that it is a preliminary version. Let us know if it does not work for you.
