Fedora xen - Apr 2006 - Stuck on Xen Guest Install at the Anaconda point.

I am stuck on how to do the anaconda definition for the location of 
core tree (btw what is a core tree anyway).

I have tried both NFS and FTP using local assets but I can not seem 
to make a location that is compliant with the anaconda format.   The 
other part of the problem is that I need to set up Xen and FC 5 on 
some machine prohibited from Internet access.

1. Since I have a DVD version of FC5, I tried to NFS export the 
mounted DVD.   This started the install but seem to have problems 
with finishing something about not being able to find start2.

2. I have a NAS which is also an ftp server however the same rules 
blocking access to the Internet also requires I have a user name 
password for the FTP server.   I copied everything on the DVD to a 
directory on the ftp server.   I am having two problems with FTP.

1. I can not figure out how to pass the user name and password.
2. I am getting an undefined 
URL.  (ftp://192.168.1.104/linux_view/OS_x86).   However this  can be 
accessed from dom0 and it looks like it is trying to do some type of 
authentication.


Any help or pointers to understand would be appreciated.

The "core tree" is the directory tree for the core of Fedora. In  
other words, it''s what you see if you look here:
