I simply edit the xen config file and comment out the virtual frame buffer
line (vfb = [...]), and it works fine w/out a GUI...
How? For creating a domain, "we" (the headless/ssh/GUI-less/text-based people)
can't get through the creation process. And I thought that the F7 Xen didn't
have config files anymore, that it was all stored in an XML blob in a db
somewhere. Is that not the case?
I am pretty sure that it is not possible to do an interactive text based
creation of a F7 domU on an F7 dom0 via the virt-install command. And since I
posted my previous msg there have been at least 2 more people posting (here
and the Xen list) with the same problem AFAICT. I'll contact Thomas Chung
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/ThomasChung when I get a chance and ask him to
create a Xen F7 QuickStart page so that it can get in the search engines and
people can find out that they need to use some other method for doing Xen
installs on F7. Unless there actually is a secret way to do it, if that is the
case I'll try to send him the actual step for people to follow.
* Sorry, I should have said specifically F7... I was testing on F6 test 2/3 so
those weren't really FC6.
