[libvirt-users] Error validating install location: Distro 'rhel8' does not exist in our dictionary

[Oliver Dzombic]

Hi,

if you run on a shell the command:

osinfo-query os

you will see that its:

rhl8.0               | Red Hat Linux 8.0
  | 8.0      | http://redhat.com/rhl/8.0


so instead of rhel8, i suggest you to try rhl8.0

Good luck !

Greetings
Oliver
