Thread-topic: Xen-users Digest, Vol 3, Issue 55
James,

Not much chance of insulting my intelligence here.  I have been using Xen as
part of the Fedora core 4 development releases, but I'm new to SuSE 9.3.  In
FC4 I use the source RPMs (for both the kernel and Xen) as supplied by
Fedora, and I'd like to do the same with SuSE, using source from the
installation CDs.  I didn't need to install any source RPM in order to build
the regular kernel.  Does Xen need something extra not installed by SuSE?
I'm not sure if I'm "building a xen kernel tree".  In FC4 the xen kernels are
built in the same way and same directory as the regular kernel.  I just need
ARCH=xen and a xen config file.  Is the procedure different in SuSE?

Thanks for your help,

Jeff
