It looks like your ISP is using Xen. This page: http://www.webhuset.no/tjenester/virtuell-server/ says: "Når du bestiller en virtuell server hos Webhuset, så kan du velge om du ønsker en virtuell Windows (Hyper-V) eller Linux server (Xen)." My Norwegian is very bad, but I believe that says that if you choose Windows, you get Hyper-V and if you choose Linux you get Xen. >> If it's some kind of virtualization that allows to install a VPS off a CD >> image, then it would be best if the ISP uses the BlueOnyx ISO image to do so. >> > I have asked them about this, and I am waiting for a reply from the > technical department of Webhuset. My feeling is they are likely to tell you "no." In that case, you'll have to resort to installing BlueOnyx via the tarball as Michael has described. IMHO, the preferred method would be to find a host that will allow the direct installation of a BlueOnyx image rather than have to beat it up on your own, which will be very time consuming at the least, and at worst, will not work as you expect. However, if you're in it for the adventure, then maybe you'll have fun with it! (Myself, I have little time and less patience!
