Some thoughts pop up when I read this: - Since you bought RHEL5, wasn't it an option you asked RH for help? - Or, even better, post to this list your concrete problems *while* doing the job. IMHO, if you don't manage to do this in one day, it's time to ask for help. - Is it an option to think that you hired the wrong person? I can't judge his qualities from here, but at least it's not a guarantee that "someone with good Linux understanding" (define "good" please) can do all the things needed in this case. - In the RHEL5 beta stage, I created virtual machines using "virt-inst" and it really was a piece of cake, but I must admit having *some* background in configuring Xen and in RH(EL) distributions ;-). - You don't mention anything about error messages or what didn't work. Sounds like you were not able to create a virtual system image at all.
