Well, I actually tried that last night.  I did a rsync dryrun against
kernel.org's Fedora 8 mirror, and got these differences:

4100 files to consider
./
.discinfo
Packages/
Packages/compiz-manager-0.6.0-3.fc8.noarch.rpm
Packages/fedora-release-notes-8.0.0-3.noarch.rpm

repodata/other.xml.gz
repodata/primary.sqlite.bz2

This was the command I ran:

rsync -rlptDvzn --progress
mirrors.kernel.org::fedora/releases/8/Fedora/i386/os/  /srv/intranet/iso-images/fedora/linux/releases/8/Fedora/i386/os/

So, I synchronized my local copy against kernel.org, but when I ran
virt-install again, it still failed.  Now I'm really confused.

Regards,
