Latest upstream libvirt & virt-manager now has support for this on Xen. The support for KVM will be coming soon too. I hope to get it into Fedora 8, and then subsquently it'll be in a Fedora 7 update. In the meantime our recommendation is to use the 'images/boot.iso' from the install tree, and then point it at an NFS/HTTP/FTP location for the main package install stage. > Or do a network install: nfs should work really well over a virtual LAN. Yep, NFS or HTTP will work. NFS is slighty better if you have limited memory in the guest, since it can execute-in-place, while HTTP needs to use 60 MB or so of RAM just to hold the installer download.
