Hi, I''ve got etch installed as dom0 and I''d like to create a gutsy domU. How should I do it? etch''s debootstrap doesn''t have the scripts for a gutsy install. Is that right? Thanks.

Is that right?Yes. Either install a backported version which does, or install via a different method. (.e.g. tar up an existing install and use --install-method=tar.) If you need a pointer to an Etch copy of debootstrap I can help there just let me know.

Install to a disk file with Qemu, then you could copy from it with: xen-create-image --install-method=copy --install-source=/path/to/mounted/image Steve -- _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

Just a small question. Instead of copying to a image file, how do you copy to a disk partition? # If you don''t wish to use loopback images then you may specify an # LVM volume group here instead # ## # lvm = skx-vg But I''m not using lvm, I''d like to install to /dev/sda8 (for example).

This is probably off-topic for the list now.
