The installation of Fedora guests using Anaconda is supported. The

|
|
installation can be started on the command-line using the `virt-install`
|
||
|
|
program or in the user interface program `virt-manager`.

Creating a guest with virt-install
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`virt-install` is a command-line based tool for creating virtualized
|
||
|
|
guests. Refer to
|
||
|
|
http://virt-tools.org/learning/install-with-command-line/ for
|
||
|
|
understanding how to use this tool. Execute `virt-install --help` for
|
||
|
|
command line help.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`virt-install` can use kickstart files, for example
|
||
|
|
`virt-install -x ks=kickstart-file-name.ks`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If graphics were enabled, a VNC window will open and present the
|
||
|
|
graphical installer. If graphics were not enabled, a text installer will
|
||
|
|
appear. Proceed with the Fedora installation.
