[Fedora-xen] FC5 Xen Guest install failed

[Scott D Hankin]

Howdy -

I had a similar problem and fixed it by changing '-l http://sitename' to '-l
http://1.2.3.4' (i.e., the IP address for sitename).  It was almost like the
installer couldn't look up sitename once the networking was started, and
failed badly as a result.

In the beginning, there was nothing, then God said, "Let there be light."
And there was light.  There was still nothing, but you could see it a lot
better.
