Hi All
I need some real help in using virt-install.
I have a fedora8 o/s + Xen installed and wanted to have RHEL4 as the Guest Domain.
I have mounted the CD1 of RHEL4 and wanted to install this as guest domain using virt-install and not able to do and seeking help.
Please let me know if the parameters to virt-install are correct and if not please let me know the correct parameters.
