I assume you're talking about Xen virtualization ? (someone already pointed you to vmware server as well). It's not necessary to be on the console to install a windows DomU in Xen ... you can use ssh with X forwarding to launch virt-manager and grab the VirtualFrameBuffer console (either from virt-manager or directly with vnc). Don't forget to consult the wiki page about windows on Xen : http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Xen/InstallingHVMDomU BTW : don't forget also that, at this time, windows performances on xen are *really* bad in comparison with the same windows on vmware server (no windows drivers available for xen guests , but vmware service tools, aka drivers, available for Vmware guests.) And you need also a processor with VT (Intel) or V-Pacifica (AMD) to support full-virtualization on Xen .... -- Fabian Arrotin <fabian.arrotin@xxxxxxxxxx> Solution ? echo '16i[q]sa[ln0=aln100%Pln100/snlbx]sbA0D4D465452snlbxq' | dc
