Hi all,
i have a problem with 'virt-install' as follows:

Question: If i am going to execute 'virt-install' and if i answer yes to the question, if i would like to create a fully virtualized guest, i have to enter some questions later a virtual cd-rom, but i do not know, what i have to enter here? I tried the iso, mounted iso as ftp or nfs, everything no luck.
You need to either enter the path to the ISO image on the local filesystem, eg /some/directory/myos.iso, or the path to the CDROM device /dev/cdrom.
Do not try to mount the ISO image - that won't work - it needs the RAW iso image, rather than the directory tree.
