Thank you. Worked like a charm! I finally have done my little Howto for a full installation from scratch.

You need to ensure that the Dom0 server has the Virtualisation entitlement check-box checked in RHN. (This will probably already be the case if you used an Installation Number to build it). Then, for a RHEL4.5 guest, just use rhn_register and you should find it registers OK and you can use yum update. But, for a RHEL5 guest I found that rhn_register complained about running out of entitlements, so I used rhnreg_ks instead and this worked fine. Syntax was: rhnreg_ks --profilename "<myguest>" --username "<myid>" --email "<myemail>" --password "<mypass>" --subscription "<mysubscriptionnumber>" Regards, GXW :o) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is a PRIVATE message.

I will expose the problem quickly. - With your good help, I was able to install, start (“create”) and work around pitfalls for creating a Dom0 and a virtual server. - Now only remains to update the virtual server, using yum, as usual. I tried many things, the furthest I came was using rhn_register and I got the same error as this person http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/redhat-fedora-linux-help/96539-rhn_register-errors.html In my rhn.redhat.com page, I see there is a virtual machine named “vm1”, which is correct. The questions are: - Considering I am supposedly entitled in having a “virtualization” entitlement that is still available according to rhn, am I able to use the very simple command “yum update” or should I simply give up because I need to purchase another license, can this whole thing, and install FC on the vm. - If the answer is “I should be able to do it”, what are the very simple steps to achieve this.
