Description Jakub Suchy 2007-03-21 00:57:37 UTC
Description of problem:
Virtualization documentation lacks information about methods to install new
domain guests. There are more methods available, but only http is shown as an
example

Comment 1 Jakub Suchy 2007-03-21 01:02:06 UTC
And more, all (including Fedora Core) virtualization guides are speaking about
specifying nfs:someserver:/path/to/isos

BUT you have to specify nfs:someserver/path/to/disk1 instead. This took me 1
hour to determine

Comment 2 Don Domingo 2007-06-25 00:29:38 UTC
queueing to MAJOR

Comment 4 Don Domingo 2007-07-05 03:45:55 UTC
Hi Jakub,

can you please specify the title of the section where you found this erroneous
information (comment#1)?

please post the URL where you found it so we can correct. The RHEL5
Virtualization Guide can be viewed online here: 

http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-5-manual/Virtualization-en-US/index.html

as for nfs, http and ftp installs, did you mean installing new guests through
virt-manager using install media available through http/ftp/nfs? 

please advise. thanks!

Comment 5 Jakub Suchy 2007-07-05 07:10:50 UTC
I think it Red Hat Installation manual, not Virt guide:

http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-5-manual/Installation_Guide-en-US/s1-steps-network-installs-x86.html#id3153668

and it seems to be already fixed.
