[et-mgmt-tools] virt-install fails if http server has directory indexes turned off

[Orion Poplawski]

def acquireKernel(baseuri, progresscb, scratchdir="/var/tmp", type=None,
                   distro=None, arch=None):
     fetcher = _fetcherForURI(baseuri, scratchdir)

     try:
         fetcher.prepareLocation(progresscb)
     except ValueError, e:
         raise ValueError, _("Invalid install location: ") + str(e)


Here we're attempting to download the base directory to test whether the 
location is valid.  This seems unnecessary and fails if the server has 
disabled directory listings.
