Just couple of weeks ago I installed Fedora8 on CentOS 5.1 using the following command: virt-install -b xenbr0 -p -n fedora8 -r 512 -f /dev/VolGroup00/fedora8 --nographics -l ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pub/Linux/distributions/fedora/linux/releases/8/Fedora/x86_64/os/

Well, I tried to run my previous virt-install command with the location set to a Fedora 8 ftp mirror: lo and behold, the install started. WTF?!

I either have a borked installation of the python-virtinst package, or there's a bug in virt-install for http locations.
