 * 3) Enter any name, choose 'Local Install Media'
 * 4) Select the ISO that you downloaded.

virt-install
An example virt-install invocation looks like:

$> virt-install --name fedoratestday --ram 1024 \ --disk path=/var/lib/libvirt/images/fedoratestday.img,size=10 \ --cdrom /path/to/my/media.iso --os-distro fedora17

For virt-install, the iso media needs to be in a location that is accessible by the 'qemu' user, otherwise the emulator won't be able to access it. A good place to put the iso is /var/lib/libvirt/images

Guest installations start and perform without any issues. Guest is bootable after install completes.
