When I try to install a CentOS 4 domU with virt-install
(xenguest-install is a symlink to the virt-install tool), I get this
error:

ERROR:  Invalid URL location given: [Errno 14] HTTP Error 404:
Content-Length: 345
Date: Tue, 06 Feb 2007 17:30:34 GMT
Accept-Ranges: bytes
Content-Type: text/html
Server: lighttpd/1.3.16

Here's the command I used:

virt-install -n aserisk -r 128 -f /dev/vg00/asterisk -s 1.2 -b xenbr0 -p
-l http://mirror.linux.duke.edu/pub/centos/4.4/os/i386/CentOS/RPMS/

I've tried a number of different locations, but everything fails.  I
have yet to find an example "path/to/tree" example that would help me
understand what I'm doing wrong.

Having said that, I do have running domUs, but I didn't set them up the
"fedora" way.  That's what I'm attempting to do now.

Regards,

Ranbir
