Dear All,

I am trying to use the virt-manager to install Xen Guest OS. I got the virt-manager installed and running on  fc7 xen dom0 and am trying to install fc9 domU using virt-manager. I have only been able to find the install URL for fc9 (all other links fc6, fc7 etc does not work), but this URL doesnot complete the installation of domU and I get a kernel panic while creating a domain for guest.

URL used be me is:

http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/9/Fedora/x86_64/os/ 

I also tried installing other guest OS like centos and ubuntu using the links below:

http://mirrors.cmich.edu/centos/5/os/x86_64/

Debian/Ubuntu tree:

http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/etch/main/installer-i386

But this link doesnot start the installtion process at all.

Please suggest me any good web to get the install links for eiether ubuntu or fc guest domains.

Thanks & Regards!
