The docs does say > that it is unsupported, but usually that doesnt mean "completely > unusable" ;) It makes no sense in trying to make Xen work as a vm guest; Xen people themselves said that they are not going to support that (sorry but I don't have a link to that discussion at hand), and Qubes recently (couple years at least) added the ability to be tested as a live distro without touching the working OS installed.
Even if you manage to start anaconda/X, you'll probably encounter many problems with Xen. And yes, usually when you see "unsupported" it means "barely exists", and it not only applies to Qubes but a lot of other things too - not just software! > Perhaps just a meaningful error message would help people figure out > why the installer seems to crash and/or behave like some buggy app. A > project manager that disguises bugs like this as a low-prio feature > req..well..hmm.. ;) Since it's actually not a bug in qubes the ticket could be just closed, the text setup disabled, and that would be all. But not to lose the detailed info about the issue, I think a nice thing to do to the users that had experienced the problem would be reopening the issue as a feature request. But I'm usually told that I'm too nice of a project manager towards user requests. Have a nice test (please consider the live cd / usb instead of virtual machines!) -- Alex -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
