[Xen-users] Install ubunto domU

["Nuno L. Ferreira" <nunolf@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear *,

I'm more used to work with RedHat like OSes. Still, I did not denied the 
request from a user who wants a domU based on ubunto. I usually use 
virt-install to do the job, with a script similar to this one:
#!/bin/sh
BASE=SL-4.7-i386-pv \
virt-install --nographics     \
             --nonsparse      \
             --paravirt       \
             --noreboot       \
             --file-size=4    \
             --ram=512        \
             --vcpus=1        \
             --name=$BASE-`date +%d%m%y`     \
             --file=$BASE-`date +%d%m%y`.img \
             --location=ftp://linuxsoft.cern.ch/scientific/47/i386/

I tried several --location values for ubunto (e.g. 
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/lucid/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/xen/ 
)
but I'm always getting the following error:

Starting install...
ERROR    Could not find an installable distribution at 
'http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/lucid/main/installer-amd64/current/images'
Can someone point me to the right direction? Clearly I'm missing 
something, probably virt-install only works for RH like. Also open to 
suggestions of installing domU's using other methods.
Thank you,
N.
