RE: [Fedora-xen] Xen Guest Installation question

[Wiwat Tharateeraparb]

What you are looking for is called "Installation Tree." And if you want
to install xen guest locally you need to build your own installation
tree.
The good news is it is simple as:
 
1. mount cdrom
2. cp -var /mnt/cdrom/ /var/www/html/fc3/x86/      -> if you want to
install via http
    cp -var /mnt/cdrom/ /nfs_share/                      -> if you want
to install via nfs
 
and when running virt-install just put the correct path.

	Hello Everyone: 

	I'm new to Xen and have some Linux experience.  I have installed
Fedora Core 6 on a Intel 3.2 GHZ machine. (Note:  I have 1 machine to
test with.)  I have 6GB of RAM.  My ultimate goal is to install a few
versions of Fedora Core 3 on the box.  (I have an old application that
uses FC3)  I can start up the virt-install GUI with no problems.  My
questions revolve around the location of FC3.

	1.  I know it can't be installed from a FC3 Install CD.  <-- I
don't understand why this is not supported.  It would seem to be the
easiest thing to do.

	2.  I know I can use NFS or HTTP. 
	3.  I have Apache Web Server running and NFS is enabled. 

	Here are the questions 

	1.  If I want to use http or NFS, do I copy the entire FC3
Install CD to some place on the hard drive?  Is the copy a *.iso file or
is it the individual          files from the CD?  This has never been
clear for me.  I have seen conflicting information on the net about this

	2.  If I use http where do I put the files. (under
/var/www/...??) 
	3.  I made a directory called /tmptest and copied the iso image
to it.  I edited the /etc/exports file and added a line like this

	    /tmptest   192.168.107.14(rw,sync)  <-- I assumed this means
192.168.107.14 has rw write access to /tmptest.    This seems to make
sense but the installation seems to always say invalid NFS source.

	Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

	Thanks 

	Phil Willemann
