... I'm trying to install my first VM using Centos 5.5 as the host as well as the VM OS. It starts fine using VMM, but when it asks for the second disk of 8 CDs, the first one isn't ejected, although unmounted because I can open the tray, and won't recognize that the second CD is inserted. ...
Why not use a DVD image in /var/lib/xen/images?
Our company blocks bittorents due to abuse. I believe the DVD ISOs are now taking up two DVDs, so I'm not sure how I'd do this either. I'll research this a little more as I'm aware I can download the ISOs from the Japanese mirrors.
Now, back to the original question. What is necessary to make this work like a normal, non-VM install? Will KVM handle this differently? I'm sure that once I get around to doing more of this I'll need to use multiple CDs for something, so I may as well get it right up front.
Thanks Ed, for the suggestion. Every little clue helps me understand all of this.
