Hello,
Thanks for your reply mark and sorry for the delay in getting back.
Honestly, I found the script a bit intimidating :( , so I decided to dig
some more before trying it out. And I found some good tutorials.
http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/Fedora13Xen4Tutorial.html
http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Fedora_16_Dom0
The first tutorial gives detailed instructions on building Xen on Fedora
13; and from the second tutorial, I understand that since Fedora 16 has
support for Xen dom0, I do not need to recompile the kernel.
I followed the tutorial and re-installed Fedora on my USB HDD, following
the partition advice given there.
I have one question.
1. When I install xen, I want to ensure it only makes changes to the
external USB hdd boot loader where I am working from currently, and NOT my
internal hard disk which has winXP/ubuntu. Will Xen do any changes to my
/dev/sda ?
Sorry about this..
"> I tried to search the archives but was getting an apache
error> everytime i searched. What am I doing wrong ?
You are not giving enough information, that''s what you''re
doing wrong
really. Helping people is not easy when they just say "I can''t get
this
to work! Help!"
"
I was trying to access the archived xen-users mailing list at
http://old-list-archives.xen.org/archives/html/xen-users/
If I give text in search box or click the "how to search" link, I get
a 404
error.
Am I looking in the wrong place ? How do I access the mail archives ?
