It's not really a big deal. Just pour the contents of RHEL5 DVD into a

Might be a bit easier to simply mount the DVD on /install.
mount -o loop /dev/sr0 /install
Decide on network configuration between your host machine and the Xen
guest. for example you decide to create a private LAN between them
utilizing the infamous 192.168.X.X address range. Configure a network
interface with an address from the range. Now create an exports record
in /etc/exports like this;
/install 192.168.1.0/24(ro,no_root_squash,sync)
Now fire up NFS server (/etc/init.d/nfs start)
Check that the NFS is up and the export is avail;
showmount -e localhost (or whatever 192.168. IP you've chosen)
Congrats, you've just set up an NFS server serving your RHEL distro!

you should export your installation tree (from RHEL install dvd or iso
image) using NFS.

I am new to installing virtual machines, and am trying to work through
examples in the RH virtualization guide, to set up paravirtualization on
a box on which I have the xen kernel loaded (and the virtualization
channel enabled).
The problem I am running into is the location of the installation files.
It appears that I cannot install from my install CDs, that I have to
have an ftp or http install location. I'd like the guest to be another
RH 5 distro. Where can I find, or how can I set up, an installation tree
to use to do this? This is very frustrating. I cannot find examples of
how to do it. I CAN find examples of fedora boot images on a fedora web
site, but nothing for RH 5?
Could someone point me in the right direction please?
