Problem creating VM image using virt-manager in FC6

[Ashok Thapliyal]

i have fedora core 6 installed with xen support.

im trying to create a VM guest image using virt-manager

what is the url that i can give in the install location as it is asking for
a http,ftp,nfs location. i don't know what url to give ,,,

if i use nfs option then, how can i set up an installation tree on the host
OS ??

i have no clue as to how i can make this image file.

What all steps are needed to create a VM image ,can anyone please tell me?

Warm regards

The URL wanted is the same as the URL you would give to Anaconda if doing
an install off a network media source. eg, it should be a URL pointing to
the top level installation tree.

To setup an NFS tree, copy the contents of all 5 ISO images into a directory
and then point to the top level directory - eg you basically want to get a
directory containing a copy of all the content at the URL i list above.

Really, you need to read your instructions for installing FC6. This 
information has been on the CDs for years, updated for each release at 
least as far back as RHL 7.x.

The README tells how to create the install tree.
