Oh, my god. I just gave this extra parameter as I thought it would then ask for the missing data. I forgot that you can either have interactive or parameters, not a mix. You run just "virt-install" then. That's even more "daunting", is it? I suppose that was too difficult to figure out yourself?
I never used virt-install and you were going on about how easy it was. Even you managed to get it wrong. You forgot and I never knew. I just copied and pasted what you stated several times would work. As a newbie would. ;o) As I said before, I am pretty *happy* with the way I create my VMs, and this thread isn't about how I create them. Getting a massive command-line right can be daunting, if you are new to the technology. That's just my opinion.
Perhaps for the benefit of the OP, perhaps you could give a complete known
working example.
Hm, surprise, surprise, I gave one.
Okay, I didn't recall, my bad.
Well, if you have done such tests, please do share... especially on the xen-users list, as there are far more competent Xen-ers to discuss your findings than me.
Read it's archives.
Thanks, very helpful. I guess that means 'read it in the archives.' I am sure it is easy to find.
