Distributor ID: LinuxMint Description: Linux Mint 14 Nadia Release: 14 Codename: nadia mint14-1 hattori # uname -ri 3.5.0-19-generic x86_64 mint14-1 hattori # kvm --version QEMU emulator version 1.2.0 (qemu-kvm-1.2.0+noroms-0ubuntu2, Debian), Copyright (c) 2003-2008 Fabrice Bellard mint14-1 hattori # virt-install --version 0.600.2 |
[ logs including trial and error ]
at first , create a virtual disk for the VM.

then install the VM over virt-install.
nnn , error

it seems that we use “--extra-args” options when specifying “--location”.
install apache2 to have “virt-isntall” load the iso file over HTTP.
| # apt-get install apache2 |

still error

it seems that I need to specify the ISO mount point instead of the ISO file.
mount the iso file.

try again. okay , the installation has started.
