Thanks. I don't have to do this for a couple of weeks yet. Hopefully things will go relatively smoothly.

Is this possible? It definitely is possible. I just moved a debian-vserver-guest to a xen-guest. A xen-guest is more or less configured like a real physical machine (except for the kernel and bootloader). Under debian I would install grub, and run 'grub-install', configure a kernel and place that kernel in the grub-config. What I did, was just to edit /etc/inittab, change it accordingly (I didn't get a login shell), and that's about it. If you have disabled your root-password (as I did in my vserver-guests), you would have to re-enable it. Networking-scripts might need to be adjusted, too (my xen hosts gets it from kernel level ip autoconfiguration). > - John HTH wogri -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.wogri.com http://www.einradfilm.at _______________________________________________ Vserver mailing list [email protected] http://list.linux-vserver.org/mailman/listinfo/vserver
