So feel free to let me know if > you have any question. > The difference between --location $ISO and --cdrom $ISO are kinda subtle: --cdrom $ISO just passes the $ISO as a cdrom device to the guest --location $ISO tries to mount the $ISO locally, and treat that local path like a --location $URL install, pulling out the kernel/initrd. This allows passing in custom kernel args, but is kinda limited since you need root access to mount the iso You can actually trigger this with virt-manager by entering a local ISO path into the install URL field - Cole _______________________________________________ virt-tools-list mailing list virt-tools-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/virt-tools-list
