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? The install media URL is a URL that points to your OS distribution tree. eg, in Fedora world it'd be http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/development/i386/os/ If you have mounted the DVD ISO image somewhere and exportedvia NFS, HTTP or FTP, you can point to that > > 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. Again, the top level directory of the particular OS distro install media.
