Now I got the installation (with program virt-install) to begin, but then I would see a dialog screen asking for ftp server, and path containing OS for my architecture. I gave for example the following two values: ftp.funet.fi pub/mirrors/centos.org/5.3/os/i386 (the latter with and without slashes at beginning and end), but always I get the same dialog screen back after a couple of minutes of blank screen. No error messages. So I am baffled again. Has someone been here before? - Jussi Hirvi
