I just keep a tarball of a debootstrap'ed minimal debian install on my FC5 box and use that to bootstrap new customer Xens. Bout the only problem I've had with Xen/FC5 is the kernel crashes which take out the networking - so I run a locally compiled kernel. The FC5 domU kernel -does- run an Ubuntu/debian system fine. Just be sure to add xennet to /etc/modules or your networking won't be very friendly; and install the module utilities package so you can load modules into the domU kernel at domU boot time. A minimalistic debootstrap'ed debian system isn't that big. -rw-r--r-- 1 adrian adrian 49267331 Jul 10 22:18 debian-base.tar.gz Adrian -- Fedora-xen mailing list Fedora-xen@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-xen
