[Xen-users] virt-install behind proxy (Xen Newbie)

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
