-    <para>A paravirtualized VM requires an install tree that follows the

-      url="http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/6/i386/os/">
-      this tree</ulink>). The <guilabel>Install Media URL</guilabel> box lets
-     you enter a URL for a tree like this. When you then go to install the
-     guest, the installer will check to see if the URL you entered is
-     readable, and if so download the paravirtualized install kernel and
-     initrd that it will need to start the install. You can use the following
-     URL types:</para>

-    <title>Sparse files can be dangerous</title>
-    <para>You may be tempted not to allocate your entire file when your VM is
-     created; filling a 5- to 10-GB file with 0s can take quite a while, and
-     you will avoid this wait by not allocating the entire file and instead using a
-     "sparse" file. However, be aware that this will slow down your VM's disk
-     performance significantly, as the underlying OS must keep allocating more
-     storage space as your VM runs. In addition, if the disk your sparse file
-     is on runs out of space, your VM may crash and lose data. You may
-     therefore only want to use a sparse file when testing, where guest
-     creation speed could be at a premium.</para>
