KVM boot from an iso

isokvm-virtualizationslackware

I'm having trouble with a hosting company that can't seem to install a slackware-13.1.iso image O.o

I'm not sure if they're just trying to fool me around or it's really possible.

I would appreciate if someone can tell a workaround or something like that (if it's possible) 🙂

Thanks in advance,

These are the instructions for use with the Ubuntu ISOs. It looks like KVM has to be started with special options for the cdrom, then once the installation is complete, it has to be stopped then restarted normally.

Did the host tell you that it wasn't possible at all, or perhaps there's a problem with the ISO that makes it unbootable? Did you have them check the md5sum of the image?
