Hi Jeroen,

I could not understand the second option of yours .
* Install your OS on aphysical machine, make a tarball of the entire machine and
unpack it again onyour partitions.

 Could you please explain a bit more about it.

Thanks
Dushmanta

 Hi,

 Things you will need to
do yourself is create a file or an LVM region or something else where your
machine will live on. Make partitions and put a file system on it. From here,
you have 2 options:

 * use tools like
rpmbootstrap to install a fresh system on your partitions
 * Install your OS on a
physical machine, make a tarball of the entire machine and unpack it again on
your partitions.

 Then copy
/lib/modules/xen-x.x.x.x to your machine under /lib/modules and you’re off!

 Cheers,
 Jeroen

i install this but i use a combination of cobbler/koan - define the
machines using cobbler then use koan to create the VM -
I dont use X or anything like that so its very simple.

Re: Fw: [Xen-users] Can I install domU without virt-manager?

If the reason for not using virt-manager is that you don''t want to use
graphical user interfaces, then you can try with "virt-install". Other
easy options are either to use rpmstrap or debian bootstrap to provision
the guest after creating a configuration file and backend image manually.
