Description of problem: Put a FC6 DVD in my system and tried to use this for a guest OS install, but the graphical installer does not seem to like this. I get "Invalid PV Media Address - Install location must be an NFS, HTTP or FTP install source" At first I missed the fact that the mount point on the DVD contained spaces (IMO could be another small usability issue for some users). However, I cut/pasted the URL in this bug report to firefox and I can browse the media fine, but the guest OS install fails. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): virt-manager-0.2.5-3.el5 (looks like the latest as of 12/15/2006) How reproducible: Every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start "Virtual Machine Manager" from bottom left corner start menu 2. Enter "file:///media/FC-6%20x86_64%20DVD" for "Install Media URL" 3. Enter everything else then click "Finish" at the end. Actual results: Error message Expected results: Install guest from local media. Additional info:
The guest doesn't have access to the host's filesystem, so you have to export it via NFS/FTP/HTTP
