Hi, I have successfully installed Xen with fedora core 5 and i have installed a guest system running fedora core 5. The guest is running without problems. I''m now trying to install a guest based on centos 4.3. i create the guest system using xenguest-install.py and the process is like this: What is the name of your virtual machine? centos How much RAM should be allocated (in megabytes)? 256 What would you like to use as the disk (path)? /xen/centos What is the install location? http://mirror.fysik.dtu.dk/linux/centos/4.3/os/i386/ Invalid URL location given but why does it give me an ''Invalid URL location given'' error message? I can see the URL in my browser and i can see the centos install tree. i have tried with nfs also using my local centos install tree using: nfs:miraculix:/usr/public/distributions/centos43_i386 but it fails. if i use nfs:miraculix:/usr/public/distributions/fedora5_i386 it woks perfectly and was the install tree i used for creating my first guest system. im using the latest xen version. hope someone can help me cause i''m pretty much stuck here and i don''t see much point in using xen if i can only run guest systems based on fedora 5. br kim gabrielsen

I built my CentOS 4.3 guest system using rpmstrap, w/instructions from a page I found via google. There are also messages in the archives about using rpm and yum, pointing them to a mounted image for their root.

The HOWTO for Xen FC4 is on the fedora WIKKI and provides an insight into producing OS images.
