Creating '/home/robru/VMs' directory...
The current libvirt 'uvt' pool is set to:
/home/robru/.machines

The uvt configuration wants it to be located here:
/home/robru/VMs

Changing the pool path may break existing VMs.

Would you like to change the pool path? [N]|y: y

[at this point a VM window actually appears for the first time, except instead of loading anything useful, it just infinitely spews the message "Could not find kernel image: /casper/vmlinuz"]

Also, it asks about switching from ~/.machines to ~/VMs *every* time I run it, regardless of the fact that ~/.machines has been deleted. How can I make that change permanent? Why does it not remember that I said yes each time?
