[CentOS] Create Virtual Machine via HTTP or FTP
Hi,
I'm trying to create a Virtual Machine using Network Install mode (I
tried HTTP and FTP).
The HTTP/FTP server where the installation files are located is the Host
Machine.
The URL that I'm using is: http://192.168.1.104/inst and the Automatic
detect option detects the OS without problem.
When the installation starts I got an error:
Unable to retrieve http://192.168.1.104/inst/images/install.img
I tried different path but I always get the same error.
The host machine is a Centos 6.2 (2.6.32.-220.el6.x86_64)
I really appreciate any help with this problem.
Thanks in advance,

How did you populate ??? /inst What media did you use? I suspect you copied the net-install ISO to /inst If you did the above, try again with minimal-install ISO -- Mark ----- Original Message ----- From: "cbulist at gmail.com" <cbulist at gmail.com> To: centos at centos.org Cc: Sent: Wednesday, February 8, 2012 4:21 PM Subject: [CentOS] Create Virtual Machine via HTTP or FTP Hi, I'm trying to create a Virtual Machine using Network Install mode (I tried HTTP and FTP).
