The --location option takes a path to an ISO image. You have extra stuff 
after the ISO path.

Hi,

virt-install --help
Use '--option=?' or '--option help' to see available suboptions
See man page for examples and full option syntax.

# virt-install --option help
usage: virt-install --name NAME --memory MB STORAGE INSTALL [options]
virt-install: error: unrecognized arguments: --option help
#


# virt-install --option=?
usage: virt-install --name NAME --memory MB STORAGE INSTALL [options]
virt-install: error: unrecognized arguments: --option=?
#

# virt-install -help --option=?
usage: virt-install --name NAME --memory MB STORAGE INSTALL [options]
virt-install: error: argument -h/--help: ignored explicit argument 'elp'
#

I need help to Use '--option=?' or '--option help' to see
available
suboptions. Any examples? I am getting the above error. Please advise.
Thanks in advance.

 Best Regards,

Kaushal
