VM creation suggestions?

[Jack Craig <jack.craig.aptos@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All,

Trying to setup KVM on a new F16. I got a xp pro media/licence am trying to use 

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Getting_started_with_virtualization#Creating_a_guest_with_virt-install

not reading closely enough, I tried this just inserting the dvd in my local drive.

however, during the install, it rebooted to gui mode, asked for sp3 cdrom for asms.
all attempt to re-reference the dvd fail.

reading closer, i find, ...

What is the install CD-ROM/ISO or URL?  This is the path to a Fedora 
installation tree in the format used by anaconda.  NFS, FTP, and HTTP 
locations are all supported.  Examples include:

• nfs:my.nfs.server.com:/path/to/test2/tree/
• http://my.http.server.com/path/to/tree/
• ftp://my.ftp.server.com/path/to/tree

as i just want a vm to load/use, each of these install staging options are tedious.

Given the clever folks on this list, i thought to ask if anyone can suggest a better approach, thx, jackc...
