xen discuss - Sep 2007 - notes about installing Centos5 into domu

I''ve just posted my notes about installing Centos5 into domu on Solaris
in  http://vireso.blogspot.com
Usually this thing requires installing Centos in quemu, then converting
qemu image into xen image. But I think I''ve found much easier way.

You got some of the easier stuff right - for example, the DVD workaround
(Solaris doesn''t suffer from this problem, but AIUI all linux domUs
do).

But it''s actually even easier than what you''re doing - you can
use virt-install
to do the installation, which avoids the need to fiddle with the kernel/ramdisk
settings at all, as long as you''ve mounted the ISO as before
