I read earlier this year that the second XendemoCD beta had a NetBSD as well as a FreeBSD and a couple of Debian filesystem images - what filesystem images does the latest XendemoCD have? (And has anyone got a XendemoCD with Plan9 on it in addition?) Thanks Wesley Parish "Sharpened hands are happy hands.

Sorry to ask Yet Another Stupid Question, but I''m going to be using Xen in a "production" capacity soon, porting a piece of FreeBSD (and NetBSD) Linux-way. Xen seems to be ideal for such a deed. Is it possible to install from the XendemoCD? (I want to install all three OSes, wiping out most of my current Mandrake 10.0 install on that particular system - what I need isn''t what rpm gives me, and I want to only keep the /home directory.) Any advice, hints, war stories, etc, gratefully accepted.

It would be a hack, and I definitely wouldn''t recommend it, but I guess it would be possible. The images on the demo CD aren''t intended to be a distribution -- they have some very sparsely documented demo-specific changes to things like the startup scripts that would need to be un-done to use them as normal images. But if you just want to use it for prototyping or playing around, then sure, they''re just filesystem images and they could be used with the loopback option in xm create or dd''d into a partition.
