Hi Mark, Would you please iterate on this topic?
What I want to know are: 1. What are the procedures (step by step) to build xen.gz? Are these the same as Xen on Linux? What are the build tools and how to specify them? 2. How to update the newly built xen.gz? Is there a same tool as Install? -baolu On Tue, May 20, 2008 at 4:43 AM, Mark Johnson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Alexandra (Sasha) Fedorova wrote: > > I am trying to build Xen from on-src-b79.
