Re: [Fedora-xen] Problem creating VM image using virt-manager in
Hi, I too found that part of the guides a bit light on information. I used the NFS option via a mount from the Dom0 box. I created a dir /fc6 and extracted all of the first cd to it, then for all the other CDs all you have to do is extract the Fedora dir into /fc6/Fedora. You need to edit /etc/exports and add the line /fc6 *(ro,no_root_squash) then restart nfs via /etc/init.d/nfs restart No need to worry about the long path normally given unless you like typing or are planning on using it for a mirror service. In virt-manager you the specify the source as nfs:''hostbox'':/fc6 Also i found a comment saying that the file backed storage should be under /var/lib/xen/images so tha.t the SElinux doesnt block it, not sure if this is still valid for the latest release of FC regards Adrian
