Wow... this is hard. I just installed Debian Sarge and Etch into Virtualbox, and it''s dead simple - download a regular netinstall .iso file, and use the wizard, and it all just works. On the other hand, I can''t for the life of me figure out how to get a Debian (sarge or etch) DomU up and running. All the instructions I find involve running debootstrap, which of course is only possible if I''m using a Debian dom0 as well. So... what''s the trick? And is it any easier to install any of the BSD varients (which don''t seem to install cleanly into virtualbox). Thanks for any help! This message posted from opensolaris.org

I should have mentioned that I''m running on opensolaris. I don''t believe that xen-tools is available, so I''m not sure this helps. This message posted from opensolaris.org
