I have several small machines which I would like to virtualize. I have found that I can take a physical dump of the boot/root partition, copy it to another machine, and boot it on the other machine. So the question is, since I have hvm, can I do the same on xen, and just boot the machine ready to go? Other than changing one line in the modules.conf file to load the proper network driver, the original hardware is compatible with the xen hvm machine. -- bill davidsen <davidsen@tmr.com> CTO TMR Associates, Inc Doing interesting things with small computers since 1979
