<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello Everyone:</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm new to Xen and have some Linux
experience. I have installed Fedora Core 6 on a Intel 3.2 GHZ machine.
(Note: I have 1 machine to test with.) I have 6GB of RAM. My
ultimate goal is to install a few versions of Fedora Core 3 on the box.
(I have an old application that uses FC3) I can start up the
virt-install GUI with no problems. My questions revolve around the
location of FC3.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>1. I know it can't be installed from a FC3
Install CD. <-- I don't understand why this is not supported.
It would seem to be the easiest thing to do.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>2. I know I can use NFS or HTTP.</FONT>
<BR><FONT face=Arial size=2>3. I have Apache Web Server running and NFS
is enabled. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>Here are the questions</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>1. If I want to use http or NFS, do I copy
the entire FC3 Install CD to some place on the hard drive? Is the copy a
*.iso file or is it the
individual files from
the CD? This has never been clear for me. I have seen conflicting
information on the net about this</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>2. If I use http where do I put the files.
(under /var/www/…??)</FONT> <BR><FONT face=Arial size=2>3. I made a
directory called /tmptest and copied the iso image to it. I edited the
/etc/exports file and added a line like this</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2> /tmptest
192.168.107.14(rw,sync) <-- I assumed this means 192.168.107.14 has
rw write access to /tmptest. This seems to make sense but
the installation seems to always say invalid NFS source.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>Any help would be greatly appreciated.</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks</FONT> </P>
