Thanks.
That's what I'm trying now, I'm glad I'm on the right track...
FYI it's a paravirtual guest I'm installing.

If you're installing a paravirtual guest with virt-manager or 
virt-install then try loop-back mounting the installation DVD where it 
can be seen through a web browser and then use its url as the location 
for installation. Check that the URL works from some other machine 
before you do the installation :-)

If you're installing a hardware virtual guest, then install a 
paravirtual guest instead: performance is generally quite a lot better.
