not reading closely enough, I tried this just inserting the dvd in my local
drive.
however, during the install, it rebooted to gui mode, asked for sp3 cdrom
for asms.
all attempt to re-reference the dvd fail.
reading closer, i find, ...
What is the install CD-ROM/ISO or URL? This is the path to a Fedora
installation tree in the format used by anaconda. NFS, FTP, and HTTP
locations are all supported. Examples include:
- nfs:my.nfs.server.com:/path/to/test2/tree/
- <a href="http://my.http.server.com/path/to/tree/" target="_blank">http://my.http.server.com/path/to/tree/</a>
- <a href="ftp://my.ftp.server.com/path/to/tree" target="_blank">ftp://my.ftp.server.com/path/to/tree</a><div>
as i just want a vm to load/use, each of these install staging options are
tedious.
Given the clever folks on this list, i thought to ask if anyone can suggest
a better approach, thx, jackc...

I strongly recommend you using virt-manager for virtual machine
management. It's easy to use and has all required options for
creating virtual machines with different media including CD/DVD and
ISO images.<span><font color="#888888"><br></font></span></div></blockquote></div></div><div><br>Thanks, I'll try that approach....<br> <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
