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 Packages/hal-info-20071030-1.fc8.noarch.rpm Packages/kernel-doc-2.6.23.1-42.fc8.noarch.rpm Packages/system-config-date-1.9.16-1.fc8.noarch.rpm images/ images/pxeboot/ images/xen/ isolinux/ isolinux/isolinux.bin repodata/ repodata/Fedora-8-comps.xml repodata/filelists.sqlite.bz2 repodata/filelists.xml.gz repodata/other.sqlite.bz2 repodata/other.xml.gz repodata/primary.sqlite.bz2 repodata/primary.xml.gz repodata/repomd.xml repoview/ repoview/layout/ stylesheet-images/ 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, Ranbir -- Kanwar Ranbir Sandhu Linux 2.6.22.14-72.fc6 i686 GNU/Linux 12:18:31 up 16 days, 23 min, 1 user, load average: 0.21, 0.08, 0.08
