Hi, I am a newbie here, and I have installed fedora core 5, xen, xen0, xenU on my thinkpad laptop, follows the quick start guide, I can bring up guest xenU, everything works fine, including networking. now I want to learn more about xen, and want to build everything from scartch, there are some rpm comes with fedora 5, like some kernel-xen-devel package, but it only include the headers file, no C codes at all, so I googled though every where, but I could ot find the source RPM for that, the only xen source I can find is xen-3.o.???.src.rpm, which builds kernel ends with "xen", not "xen0", so I am wondering where do I find the source or building xen0 ? or, I should just use the "xen-3.o.???.src.rpm" ? thanks, -- Ping

The latest errata for FC5 is http://download.fedora.devel.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/5/SRPMS/kernel-2.6.17-1.2187_FC5.src.rpm The ''xen'' SRPM that you see is just used to build & package the corresponding userspace bits. Bear in mind that if you''re modifying stuff make absolutely sure you use matched versions of the kernel & userland bits. For FC5 the latest userland SRPM for Xen is http://download.fedora.devel.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/5/SRPMS/xen-3.0.2-3.FC5.src.rpm Regards Dan. -- |=- Red Hat, Engineering, Emerging Technologies, Boston. +1 978 392 2496 -=| |=- Perl modules: http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/ -=| |=- Projects: http://freshmeat.net/~danielpb/ -=| |=- GnuPG: 7D3B9505 F3C9 553F A1DA 4AC2 5648 23C1 B3DF F742 7D3B 9505 -=|
