Changes

The main virt-manager screen lists the current virtual machines running on the system. At this point there should only be one, the host system. By default the manager should be connected to the host. If it is not, connect to the host system by right clicking on the entry in the list and selecting ''Connect'' from the popup menu. The ''Status'' field for this VM should now change to ''Active'', and the ''New'' button at the bottom of the dialog should be enabled.
