[PATCH] virtinst: support Debian paravirt installs

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,
attached patch adds support for Debian paravirt Xen installs. It also
adds support for 'http://people.debian.org/~joeyh/d-i/' which is the
location for debian-installer daily builds but has slightly different
layout (images/daily instead of current/images).
Cheers,
 -- Guido

Add support for Debian Xen paravirt installs.

Lenny supports this. Also add transparent support for
'http://people.debian.org/~joeyh/d-i/' which is the official location for
debian-installer daily builds but has slightly different layout (images/daily
instead of current/images).
