Hello, Is it possible to create a custom template for XCP? Or edit an existing one? I know that I could create a VM and then exported as a template, but I would prefer to create a template like "Debian Lenny 5.0" that install debian from the network but with 64bits instead of the 32bits used by the template. -- Angel L.

There is no 64bit Xen debootstrap But there are instructions on how to install in HVM and then convert to PV. This link will give you some idea... http://community.citrix.com/display/ocb/2008/07/02/Installing+Ubuntu+on+XenServer then create a template from your hard work. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Angel L.

I was also thinking to create a template that install debian (or ubuntu) with debootstrap (not booting with a kernel that install it from the network), similar to the way xen-tools creates VM. -- Angel L.

Sorry, read your email correctly now. As I said at first, there is no 64bit debootstrap. (Debian) Don''t know about Ubuntu. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Angel L.

The problem with the template is that it tries to first boot from network to install, but you could create a vm without needing to boot from network if you previously install the OS in the vm. -- Angel L.
