Package: virtinst
Version: 0.400.0-7
Severity: wishlist
I've fianlly figured out how to enter the correct form of data to do a paravirt
install
from the dvd, and it's virtually useless. Of the three distros that deal with
xen,
only fedora will work off the dvd, and then it lacks the drivers to actually
complete
an install.
