You can't. Xen's fully virtualized hardware implementation isn't as fast as VMware's. Also, there are no para-virtualized drivers for HDD, lan or video for Windows, as there are in VMware. > Ideally what I would like to do is install CentOS 5 as a dom0, then > run my existing CentOS 4.x installation as a domU while I figure out > how to do other interesting things (like install Solaris 10 and > Windows as domU installations). CentOS 4 and OpenSolaris as paravirtualized will be much faster than under VMware. But Windows can only run as fully virtualized. > Does anyone have any links to pages which might show me how to use > Xen to run an existing, already-installed CentOS (or RedHat) under > Xen as a domU? yum -y install kernel-xenU :) That should create the initrd and kernel that you can then use in Xen. -- lfr 0/0
