Description of problem: virt-clone(1) manpage does not reference virt-sysprep(1). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: I checked on RHEL6 and on the Fedora 17 manpage online: http://linuxmanpages.net/manpages/fedora17/man1/virt-clone.1.html Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run `man virt-clone` on the command-line. 2. Read through the manpage, or search for sysprep. Actual results: I have run virt-clone to clone a VM and am wondering why the VM sometimes ends up (for example) with eth1 configured instead of eth0. I read the virt-clone(1) manpage but find nothing helpful in it. I throw my hands up in despair and give up on virt-clone as a useful tool. Expected results: I have run virt-clone to clone a VM and have seen the aforementioned problem. I read the virt-clone(1) manpage and realise that I should run the virt-sysprep(1) command as prior to running virt-clone. I find virt-clone, together with virt-sysprep, to be a useful and reliable tool that makes my life easier. Additional info: virt-clone(1) is in the package python-virtinst. virt-sysprep(1) is in the package libguestfs-tools.
Moving to the upstream tracker

virtinst has been merged into virt-manager.git. Moving all virtinst bugs to the virt-manager component.
virt-manager clone wizard should also explicitly point to virt-sysprep and mention potential issues with our dumb clone operation, like lack of network connectivity. or maybe a wiki page somewhere
