Can someone share their config file for a windows hvm using lvm''s and an .iso for the cdrom? Thanks for the help, Jon _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

You can install Windows without running Xserver on your Xen machine. First edit the xend-config.sxp file. Add the option: (vnc-listen ''0.0.0.0'') (otherwise, it will only listen locally on the Xen server.) Restart Xen after changing this config. In your guests config file, add the option: vnc=1 Boot your guest, and you will be able to use VNC to connect to the guest (using the IP address of your xen-server). Only trouble I have here, is that the mouse pointer doesn''t move correctly all the time. During install this is not a real problem, but when you want to manage your Windows installation, you''re better of using remote desktop. Good luck!
