Of late i discovered that for a newbie - It''s not that ( as compared to VMWare ESX) straightforward to install Xen and start researching on it. The root cause of this is that , there is not proper step-by-step documentation that works. I don''t say there is no documentation ; there is , but it''s scattered & not obivious.There are few of my friends who could not make dom0 run for couple of months and then gave up. So , I want to take an initiative to very well document Xen installation & configuration so that it becomes a definitive guide for anyone who likes to play with Xen. I hope to get a lot of help from the Xen developers/researchers and experienced Xen administrators.

I''d suggest you to create yourself an account to Xen wiki, and ask Stephen Spector to give you edit permissions. Then you can create a new wiki page and start documenting! We have a Xen 4.0 ''release notes'' wiki page here: http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/Xen4.0 You could start with filling that page! btw. Xen wiki mainpage now has links to the new recently created wiki pages. -- Pasi _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
