I'm not I sure understand what you're trying to do.
Running qemu-kvm without the required parameters (image files, cdrom,
network devices) will not work.
Sadly enough, I cannot really help you with virt-manager (you might want
to ask the good people at fedora-virt). Never the less, calling qemu-kvm
directly requires a long list of parameters...

Thanks for your help.
That is the same answer I get from Fedora virt-tools , it is not a
virt-tools problem so go to
fedora-list for help.
Boy am I having fun !!!
