Hi all I am testing xen-3.0.1-4 on FC5 . when i tried install FC4 (not FC5 ) guest-os with xengust-install.py i got following error. ＃xenguest-install.py What is the name of your virtual machine? FC4 How much RAM should be allocated (in megabytes)? 256 What would you like to use as the disk (path)? /opt/fc4/fc4.img What is the install location? http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/fedora/linux/core/5/i386/os/ Invalid URL location given So the guest-os type that supported is only FC5 ? thanks tournesol
Thanks for your advice.

Hi Otter As your advice i tired again # xenguest-install.py What is the name of your virtual machine? fc4 How much RAM should be allocated (in megabytes)? 260 What would you like to use as the disk (path)? /opt/fc4 What is the install location? ftp://ftp.riken.jp/Linux/fedora/core/4/i386/os/ Invalid URL location given #xenguest-install.py What is the name of your virtual machine? fc4 How much RAM should be allocated (in megabytes)? 256 What would you like to use as the disk (path)? /opt/fc4 What is the install location? ftp://ftp.kddilabs.jp/Linux/packages/fedora/core/4/i386/os/ Invalid URL location given realy need backslash ? tournesol Otter wrote:>tournesol wrote: > > >>Thanks for your advice. >> >>I tried intall guest-os(FC4) again >> >>#xenguest-install.py >>What is the name of your virtual machine? fc4 >>How much RAM should be allocated (in megabytes)? 256 >>What would you like to use as the disk (path)? /opt/fc4 >>What is the install location? ftp://ftp.riken.jp/Linux/fedora/core/4/i386/os >>Invalid URL location given >> >>/*another ftp site*/ >> >>xenguest-install.py >>What is the name of your virtual machine? fc4 >>How much RAM should be allocated (in megabytes)? 256 >>What would you like to use as the disk (path)? /opt/fc4 >>What is the install location? >>ftp://ftp.jaist.ac.jp/pub/Linux/Fedora/core/4/i386/os >>Invalid URL location given >> >>any ideas ? >> >>tournesol >> >>Otter wrote: >> >> >> >> >>>tournesol wrote: >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> >>>>Hi all >>>> >>>>I am testing xen-3.0.1-4 on FC5 . when i tried install FC4 (not FC5 ) >>>>guest-os with xengust-install.py i got following error. >>>>＃xenguest-install.py >>>> What is the name of your virtual machine?

I think it is not slash problem let me show you detail # xenguest-install.py What is the name of your virtual machine? fc4 How much RAM should be allocated (in megabytes)? 260 What would you like to use as the disk (path)? /opt/fc4/ What is the install location? ftp://ftp.riken.jp/Linux/fedora/core/4/i386/os/ Invalid URL location given Otter wrote:>You are still missing the slash here: > >What would you like to use as the disk (path)? /opt/fc4 > >use >What would you like to use as the disk (path)? /opt/fc4/ > > > >
