Hi, After listening to episode 89 of the LugRadio podcasts* I decided that just for a laugh (with the end of term being today) it would be a really good time to lean about xen and virtualisation.
Xen on gutsy just hasn't worked for me at all, after hitting nearly every reported (and un-resolved) bug there is with xen and gutsy on launchpad I conceded defeat (using gutsy at least). I've reached the stage where I've just had enough of trawling through bug reports and applying workarounds, but I digress. I've now turned to centOS 5 after a recommendation from a friend, and the installation of the domO went really well and I'm very very impressed. My problem is that I want to install ubuntu virtual machines. Using virt-install to install a domU I can only manage to get centOS guests. Does anyone know of any way to install an ubuntu domU easily, either with or without the use of virt-install, and without the use of the xen-tools package (this is not included with centOS AFAIK). Happy Christmas and a Merry new year to all ;) -- ----- Kind regards Alistair Crust Systems Administrator Skegness Grammar School Vernon Road Skegness PE25 2QS TEL: 01754 610000 (ext'852) FAX: 01754 896875 -- [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
