How does one install a new vm behind a proxy? When I start the virt-install routine Xen seems to be unable to load information from the ftp/http sources. As a consequence, I tried to install from the DVD-iso as well as the file system. Xen then prompts "What type of media contains the packages to be installed?". After choosing ''hard drive'' it prompts that I do not seem to have any hard drives on my system (my favorite error of the day ;-). What is my best shot? Since I have already downloaded the entire iso image, I would rather install either from the iso itself or the mounted file system... Many thanks in advance! - Alex This are the settings (from iso): What is the name of your virtual machine? vm01 How much RAM should be allocated (in megabytes)? 2048 What would you like to use as the disk (file path)? /vm/vm01.img How large would you like the disk (/vm/vm01.img) to be (in gigabytes)? 10 Would you like to enable graphics support?

[Xen-users] Re: virt-install behind proxy (Xen Newbie)
Could the availability of multiple ethernet cards be the problem? How can I configure xen to only use one specific eth card (the same one the guest OS is using..)?
