[virt-tools-list] virt-install Fedora 12 domU installation problem

[tu2Bgone at gmail.com]

Hi all,

I'm trying to figure out what is happening here:
libvirt-python-0.6.3-33.el5
libvirt-0.6.3-33.el5
libvirt-0.6.3-33.el5
python-virtinst-0.400.3-9.el5
virt-manager-0.6.1-12.el5
virt-viewer-0.0.2-3.el5
xen-libs-3.0.3-105.el5_5.3
kernel-xen-2.6.18-194.3.1.el5
xen-3.0.3-105.el5_5.3
kmod-xenpv-0.1-9.el5
xen-libs-3.0.3-105.el5_5.3

on Centos5.5 (x86_64)

My installation using virt-install is failing to find the xen images  
directory on the fedora12 repo. That is understandable because there is  
none that I can find on any repository.

Is there something simple I am missing here? There is a images/xen  
directory for centos5.5 repo but not one for Fedora.

Cheers,
