[Xen-devel] Please give me an example of ''installation tree''
Hi, I have installed the Xen followed the instructions of http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraXenQuickstartFC5, but I am vague when I am asked the question: What is the install location? I do not understand clearly what that means. I want to install my guest os in local host, such as in the path /root/guestosdir, and then I try many ways like http://localhost/root/guestosdir or file:/root/guestosdir or nfs:localhost:/root/guestosdir but Xen said those are invalid location. Could anybody give me an example of how to install guestos in my local direction? Thank you very much~ - An Ching __________________________________________________ 赶快注册雅虎超大容量免费邮箱? http://cn.mail.yahoo.com --0-273804832-1168401525=:72904 Content-Type: text/html; charset=gb2312 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Hi,<br><br>I have installed the Xen followed the instructions of http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraXenQuickstartFC5, but I am vague when I am asked the question:<br><br>What is the install location?<br><br>I do not understand clearly what that means.

Re: [Xen-devel] Please give me an example of ''installation tree''
Xiao Ching, How to install OSes into guests varies by distro. Talking to friends in the LTC, I think the ''installation location'' is really the installation source (e.g. where all of the RPM''s and installation scripts that would be found on an installation DVD reside). I''m told that ISO images are not sufficient for Xen guest installations -- the files must be extracted. An example would prob. be: file:/install_src/fc5-i386/ I might be completely wrong, but it''s worth a try to do something like this. Peace.
