[Fedora-xen] virt-install

I just installed Fedora 8 and the Fedora Xen packages.  I have been 
trying to get a variety of VMs installed, but the most basic one is just 
a Fedora guest VM.  Please correct me if I am wrong, but the correct 
tool is "virt-install".  It asks a number of questions, but the last is 
"What is the install location?"  I finally found an excerpt from a book 
that had 
"http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/6/i386" as the 
answer.  But that is not correct it is actually:
"http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/*6*/i386/os", 
but that is for core 6, not 7 or Fedora 8.  And the file tree does not 
have a 
"http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/*8*/i386/os".  
Is there no place where fc8's files are posted?  Or are we supposed to 
specify 6?  I would have said okay, except I started getting messages 
like this:

    4gb seg fixup, process beagle-build-in (pid 1793), cs:ip 73:0811cbff
    printk: 5990213 messages suppressed.

So there seems to be a problem.  I found this message thread saying 
there is a problem usiing the fc6 install location.

If anyone knows where the fc8 location is please respond!  Thank you.
