I have a very basic knowledge on Linux, and I'm working on a CentOS7 system. Now I'm tyring to configure a KVM CentOS VM, by using the virt-install tool. Here it is the command I wrote:

virt-install --name=tester1.example.com 
--ram=1024 --vcpus=2 
--disk path=/var/lib/libvirt/images/tester1.example.com.img,size=16 
--graphics=spice 
--location=ftp://127.0.0.1/pub/inst 
--os-type=linux 
--os-variant=centos7

and here is the error message I got:

Error validating install location: Distro 'centos7' does not exist in our dictionary

Does anyone have any suggestions, on how to get around the problem?

This question appears to be off-topic. The users who voted to close gave this specific reason:

"Questions describing a problem that can't be reproduced and seemingly went away on its own (or went away when a typo was fixed) are off-topic as they are unlikely to help future readers." â€“ Jeff Schaller, Stephen Rauch, Archemar, Stephen Kitt

If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.

Yes, the error returned was merely due to a typo; then there's no way to reword the question to make it useful to others. Thank you for the explanation you wrote above. I'll try to be much more careful.

I guess I've found a workaround: I just substituted the parameter centos7 with centos7.0.
