Hi everyone, I''m a phd student and I''m doing research in vm field. I''m sorry that I met a problem with domain U install. I followed the instruction from the Xen-Ubuntu page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Xen. When I was installing the domain U (also a Ubuntu image), I was told the dhcp does not work. If I choose not to configure dhcp, then I was asked to choose a mirror. But in fact, I already download the image in disk. I donot know how to fix it. Could anyone give me some suggestion? I appreciate it very much! yaodong _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xen.org http://lists.xen.org/xen-users

There are no actual Ubuntu packages included with these so to install you will also need access to a mirror.> I think it''s related to the bridge network setting.

Hello Ian and others, Thanks for your help! After several days working on it. I solved the problem and have a working system now. It turned out that I did not understand well about the network bridge model, when I run across this issue. Thanks again!
