OK, I tried creating a VM on another laptop (same make and model) running 
CentOS 7 -- this *seems* to work, but I am having trouble logging in.  I don't 
really want to mess with the GUI, but really just want to login at one the 
alternitive "black" consoles (eg Alt-Ctrl-F2).  What is the guest user login 
name (and password, if any)?
