RE: [Xen-users] How can IInstall linux system in vm use install ISO orCD?
If you want to use a CD installer, you can always do it in VMWare (or similar) with a file-backed device, convert the file to something your host system can mount (qemu has utilities for this) and copy the fs over. Of course you''ll need to mount it in dom0 first to configure things like /etc/fstab. If you have a machine that can export iSCSI targets, it''s kinda neat to attach a target to your desktop, install from CD, and then attach it to the Xen machine for the domU to use. Usually you get better results with the distribution-specific bootstrap tools though - a lot less junk gets installed.
