Hi Stephen, > If I tell it to use an NFS source (eg nfs://server/mnt/cdrom) then itin Centos5 tries to do a CIFS mount instead (I can see it running mount.cifs and > in the xterm I ran virt-manager from it then asks for a password). Wow. The correct syntax is: nfs:nfs-server:/mnt/cdrom I think I found it in the anaconda documentation, or in the FC6 Install guide. Bye!
