A few remarks about documentation that I had to solve by googling. It would save time to future users (or experts answering on the list) if it were in the doc. packages needed on a brand new Kubuntu install (should be the same on Debian): The packages the doc says it need libcurl3-dev #instead of libcurl2-dev initrd-tools #to run mkinitrd -o /boot/initrd-2.6.16-xen.img 2.6.16-xen #to compile from sources, add: #the packages the doc mentions : libvncserver-dev make python-dev libsdl1.2-dev # provides sdl bcc bin86 #provides dev86 libjpeg62-dev transfig # not mentioned in the doc, but abort compilation if missing tetex-extra On page http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/Research/SRG/netos/xen/readmes/user/user.html#SECTION04340000000000000000 (sadly not yet on http://tx.downloads.xensource.com/downloads/docs/user/) example.vtx is now replaced by example.hvm. Took me a while to figure out why example.vtx was missing ! The depmod && mkinitrd stuff currently at the end of the readme should be moved or copied to the end of the binary install section. Users trying binary install don''t read the source install section. Could somebody with access to the sources (or at least access to the wiki) add it ? Or who should I send this mail to ? Thanks for this great piece of software, Jean-Baptiste Rouquier PS : I''m not on the list, please add a copy to me when replying. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

Ubuntu has, by definition, newer packages, some of which might not be available in Debian. Still, maybe you should also post this to the developers list, or add a bug in the Bug Tracking system so the developers can fix that some day. Another way to add this to some docs would be to search the wiki if there''s an appropriate page and add it there yourself.

For instance kernel-package is much newer in Debian compared to Ubuntu.
