Xen users - Feb 2006 - SLES 9 domU for testing

Hi,

I need to do a test with SLES 9 running in a domU very quickly and
don''t have
much time. Is there anybody out there having experience in installing SLES 9 
into a domU? Or way better, maybe has a already running guest installation 
for download?

Thanks in advance,
Michael

probably it is mostly the same as with SuSE 10?

So create an image-file with dd, format it and mount it as 
loopback-device. Then you can make an "install into directory" from 
YaST, after finishing copy over a known passwd/users/groups to be able 
to login and create the fstab. To get networking running it may be a 
good idea to set the mac-address on a fixed value in the domU-config and 
set the STARTMODE="onboot" for the ethernet-if.

Everything else is standard.

I don''t think so, because SLES is not free, or?
