Ok, so I've gotten a Xen kernel installed just fine and booted. 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.
1. What constitutes a valid install media URL? What does virt-manager look for
at this URL?
2. How do you get a valid install media URL for a particular Linux
distribution? I looked at Ubuntu
mirrors and don't see anything that looks like I can use.
3. How can you create / extract the install directory from an .iso file? I can
mount the iso and copy
the contents to a directory, but what particular path do I use for the base
directory for the install URL?
4. What are valid install media URLS for: Ubuntu, Fedora, OpenSolaris, &
Centos5?
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
should certainly be part of the Xen FAQ and Virt-Manager docs too. I see a lot
of similar questions, but no answers.
Thanks,
-Enzo
