Now I'm trying to get a domU installed and am having trouble with the install media urls which are not clearly explained anywhere on the internet. All I see is use a valid install url without any explanation of what that actually is. For example, you would think you could use a .iso file, but you cannot. It doesn't appear that you can use a local install extract as all I see are FTP, HTTP or NFS servers. </div><div><br></div><div>1. What constitutes a valid install media URL? What does virt-manager look for at this URL?</div><div><br></div><div>2. How do you get a valid install media URL for a particular Linux distribution? I looked at Ubuntu</div><div>mirrors and don't see anything that looks like I can use.</div><div><br></div><div>3. How can you create / extract the install directory from an .iso file? I can mount the iso and copy</div><div>the contents to a directory, but what particular path do I use for the base directory for the install URL?</div><div><br></div><div>4. What are valid install media URLS for: Ubuntu, Fedora, OpenSolaris, & Centos5?</div><div><br></div><div>Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. I will also add this to a blog and do a write up so that others don't go through the pain that I have. After 24 hours of Googling, I can't find these answers and this</div><div>should certainly be part of the Xen FAQ and Virt-Manager docs too. I see a lot of similar questions, but no answers. </div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div><br></div><div>-Enzo</div><div style="position:fixed"></div></div><br> </body></html>
