Thanx

What you have posted here is what I know already, so it didn't help much :)

But, this time I have decided to install Gnome onto CentOS, and try 
virtmanager. Although I'm unable to install Windows 2003 onto a LVM 
volume, I could install it as a file partition. Then I realized one of 
the reasons I could never get it to work, is cause I'm trying to install 
it remotely onto a server without X, using SSH. And since Linux boots up 
fine this way, and I see a graphical installed, Windows needs full 
graphics to start up.
So, how do I install Windows via SSH then?
