No I'm not. Seems clear and concise to me. But I'll restate it for you. The
iso is loop mounted on a nfs server, which virt-install/virt-manager is
told about through using  nfs:192.168.0.1:/mnt as an argument. Previous
versions of the distro had a Fedora directory at the root of the dvd iso.
f8test2 does not, therefore, the install fails.
