Re: [Fedora-xen] Virt-manager does not connect to libvirt/Xen? Xen 4.1.5 installed from source on Fedora 17.

I will try F18 next time. But I want to keep that as my last resort,if nothing else works. Right now, I thought I can download the iso file for fedora, save the image on to the hard disk and then use it to build the DomU with xl. If that doesnt work, I will look towards F18. -- Ranjith krishnan _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xen.org http://lists.xen.org/xen-devel
