[virt-tools-list] how to convert virtualbox vm instance to kvm instance, and then run kvm instance under virt-manager?

[Qiubo Su (David Su)]

dear eric,

thanks for your advice. i check the virt-v2v definition, it says "Virt-v2v
allows you to convert virtual machines from Xen and VMware over to KVM". i
want to convert vm from virtaulbox to kvm, can virt-v2v do this? otherwise,
whatelse can?

thanks,
david su
