[Fedora-xen] Unable to install domU on Fedora 8

[Marcel Damásio]

Hi Pete,

I had the same error.
Some mirrors couldn't be donwloaded from.
I had success with the mirror that is in the virt-install man's page, but
it's not good.

Then I'd made the download of the whole mirror and done it in localhost, and
it worked.

If you have success doing this, post here please. I wanna know too.
