In the meantime, since the link given in the VMM GUI help file for the example installation tree is defunct can some kind soul point me to a resource that describes how to build sucha thing from a CentOS-5.2 distro dvd?

From: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Installation Guide 28.9. Making the Installation Tree Available

The kickstart installation must access an installation tree. An installation tree is a copy of the binary Red Hat Enterprise Linux CD-ROMs with the same directory structure.

So: # cd /path/to/vm/os/install_tree # cp -pr /media/CentOS_5.2_Final ./

Thereafter the Install Media URL becomes: /path/to/vm/os/install_tree/CentOS_5.2_Final
