Hi all,

I remember to have installed SL 7 beta on VirtualBox VM (under SL 6 
host) from web. I downloaded the web install iso; in the installer, I 
had to set: first my local proxy, and then the url for the packages; if 
I remember well, at that time it was 
http://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/7rolling/x86_64/os/
But now, it should be 
http://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/7x/x86_64/os/

I was able to install several betas this way. Of course, at each 
instance, one must retype everything.

Good luck,
