Hm, not so simple. Now I got the installation (with program
virt-install) to begin, but then I would see a dialog screen asking for
ftp server, and path containing OS for my architecture. I gave for
example the following two values:
ftp.funet.fi
pub/mirrors/centos.org/5.3/os/i386
(the latter with and without slashes at beginning and end),
but always I get the same dialog screen back after a couple of minutes
of blank screen. No error messages.
So I am baffled again. Has someone been here before?
