I tried all CentOS 5.5. image available (Live CD, > net install, bin 1 of 8, 32 bit and 64 bit). > Other installation (Debin, Ubuntu, SLES, Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows > Server 2008) worked fine. > > Perhaps somebody can help me in setting things up for that. Did you already solve this? I do text-based installations with virt-install, and follow this procedure: - if you are going to do several VM installations, then before you install, copy the directories you need (for example centos/5.6/os/x86_64/) from a CentOS mirror to /var/www/html on the host - start httpd on the host, check in the browser that you can access the CentOS files - from a CentOS mirror, download any bootable iso (netinstall cd, or installer cd #1 do fine) to the host - mount the iso using "mount -o loop" - do virt-install - for "location", use the mounted iso - do a "http" installation using your local http "repo" (refer to the host with its public ip number; 10.0.2.2 did not work for me) - Jussi _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
