What I do is loopback mount the iso file (or mount the cd) to a directory that is exported under nfs. Other people use apache/httpd etc. to export the mount point. At worst, you can always fall back to a network install from a redhat server or mirror, at a speed penalty. Also, dvds or .isos are much less painful to work with than cds. And yeah, it's much more straightforward to delete your first install attempt and try again. As you gain more install experience, you may be able to repair installs more. Virt-manager will change your config after the cdrom run, to delete the cdrom definition, and boot off of your created disk image. If the image doesn't have the kernel, etc. setup, you'll get the 'Bootloader ...' error you saw. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
