Hi, I am using ''virt-manager'', paravirtualization, to install FC7 as a guest under FC7. I can''t seem to find a network install location that works. The Fedora site list many ftp and http mirror sites for installing. I can ping them and verify they are alive. My problem is I don''t know how deep to go into the directory tree to get something that anaconda likes. I tried ''http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux'' The error message I get is "Unable to complete install: Invalid URL given." Can I take the FC7 DVD, mount it and then ftp to it? Thank you, Joe Hesse

For example for Fedora 7 on x86_64 http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/7/Fedora/x86_64/os/> Can I take the FC7 DVD, mount it and then ftp to it?Yes, you can export the DVD using a FTP/NFS/HTTP from your Dom0 host.
