Philip Rhoades wrotes :
I want to test out a bunch of LiveCD distributions - is it possible to
set these up as guests under Xen so I don't have to shut down my main
machine?
I did that with virt-install :
Suppose you have a iso image of the cdrom and the Virtual Technology in
the processor on recent computer :
on line 4 you can write what you want even the disk path of another VM
so you can tune the it's file system
on line 8 where is your iso image (don't need burn a cd)
[root@baudelaire ~]# virt-install
1 Would you like a fully virtualized guest (yes or no)? This will allow
you to run unmodified operating systems. yes
2 What is the name of your virtual machine? knoppix
3 How much RAM should be allocated (in megabytes)? 400
4 What would you like to use as the disk (file path)?
/virtualMachines/knoppix.img
5 Disk /virtualMachines/knoppix.img is already in use by another guest!
6 Do you really want to use the disk (yes or no)? yes
7 Would you like to enable graphics support? (yes or no) yes
8 What is the virtual CD image, CD device or install location?
/home/KNOPPIX_V5.1.1CD-2007-01-04-EN.iso
