HI, I have a Xen installation on Debian Sarge for amd64 with few Debian domU that I created on a LVM with debootstrap. My question is: What is the best method to install another guest os, like Fedora? I know I can boot Fedora, install it on another partition, mount that partition and clone it to my LVM but I wonder if there is a fastest way. Thank you, Frank, _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
Use yum as explained at http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraXenQuickstart François Levasseur wrote:> HI, > > I have a Xen installation on Debian Sarge for amd64 with few Debian > domU that I created on a LVM with debootstrap. > > My question is: What is the best method to install another guest os, > like Fedora? > > I know I can boot Fedora, install it on another partition, mount that > partition and clone it to my LVM but I wonder if there is a fastest way. > > Thank you, > > Frank, > >------------------------------------------------------------------------ > >_______________________________________________ >Xen-users mailing list >Xen-users@lists.xensource.com >http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users >-- Sadique PP Sr. System Administrator Vanilla Networks Pvt Ltd SDF-IT Building, Inforpark Kakkanad, Cochin, 682030 Mobile: +919895643639 _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
There is no yum package on Debian.

If you want to do a new install your best options are probably hacking around rpmstrap, or using Qemu to install. (Possibly just a tar of a pre-installed machine too.)
