What if i don't want KVM install no matter of hardware ? I will want Xen on icore7 + ASUS P6TDT+ 16 GB RAM , Dell PowerEdge and so on ...

The point I was making is that a non-trivial user base has hardware which does not support KVM, both legacy and recent low end CPUs like ATOM (and Celeron, I believe). And there is a fair amount of old hardware which does support KVM, but not all that well, like Q6600, which benefit from using xen. So while KVM may be a choice for recent hardware, there is a user base which would benefit from having xen. And I would hope that the installer would be clever enough to see if KVM is supported and offer xen if not. Doesn't need to be default, available is fine. -- Bill Davidsen<[email protected]> "We can't solve today's problems by using the same thinking we used in creating them." - Einstein _______________________________________________ virt mailing list [email protected] https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/virt
