Amazing!  virt-manager did not show the vm.  However, I could connect to 
"testsuite" and turn it off and uncheck the start on boot.  Reboot now 
stops for awhile at a dbus msg, but this may be related to the fact that 
I turned off bluetooth activation using systemctl as I see some dbus 
msgs prior to about a bad parameter.

Now, any insights into what is going on with network activation?  I see 
some bzs about the hosts file, but nothing about a fix.
