libvirt 0.8.2

If you're running on Fedora or RHEL, can you please do this and

On (recent) Fedora or RHEL, that will generally show the main files
of
interest, so help reduce the back-and-forth emailing. :)
Also, is there a "default.xml" anywhere on your system?
$ sudo locate default.xml | grep virt
/etc/libvirt/storage/default.xml
/etc/libvirt/storage/autostart/default.xml
/etc/libvirt/storage/default.xml
/etc/libvirt/storage/autostart/default.xml
/etc/libvirt/qemu/networks/default.xml
/etc/libvirt/qemu/networks/autostart/default.xml
/var/lib/libvirt/network/default.xml
$ sudo ls -la /etc/libvirt/storage/default.xml
/etc/libvirt/storage/autostart/default.xml
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 32 Jun 14 20:31

(Btw, the "sudo" is important for the "locate" command. It won't
otherwise display files that are only accessible to the root user,
thereby missing out on many libvirt ones.)
