Re: [Xen-users] Install Problem

[Brian Krusic <brian@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I haven't had much luck with this myself so my workaround;

1 - Setup a quick-n-dirty web server.
2 - Downloaded the 5.2 DVD ISO.
3 - Copied the entire contents to the server in a dir like centos off  
its web root.
4 - Pointed the Xen domU installer to it (something like http://mylocalweb/centos) 
.
I do with with RHEL as well.

Its faster and more reliable and is worth the initial investment of  
time.
