You don't need this step any more. You can do this all on a single
64-bit system.
I think you still need that 32 bit system to make the ISO file.
I just now tested this on some of my own stuff. I don't know of any easy way to
install virt-p2v-image-builder on a 64 bit F16 system - it doesn't show up with yum.
[root@fedora1664-p2v /]# yum list available | grep p2v
[root@fedora1664-p2v /]# rpm -qa | grep p2v
[root@fedora1664-p2v ~]# virt-p2v-image-builder
bash: virt-p2v-image-builder: command not found...
[root@fedora1664-p2v ~]# find / -name virt-p2v-image-builder
find: `/home/gregs/.gvfs': Permission denied
[root@fedora1664-p2v ~]#
[root@fedora1664-p2v /]# cd /
[root@fedora1664-p2v /]# ls -R | grep image-builder
I don't have a 32 bit F16 system handy here, but I've seen and installed
virt-v2v-image-builder on the 32 bit systems at other sites. It shows up as expected and
installs on 32 bit systems, but doesn't show up on 64 bit systems.
That's why you still need that 32 bit system - to make that ISO file so you can boot
the source physical machine.
