Hello!

I have installed the xen0 domain on a debian box, and looking
for a simple way to install different rpm based (red hat clones) distro as guest os. so this question might be slightly OT but should
be interesting for the most xen users.

Have you tried booting a domU to an install root disk? (I tried this with Slackware but I think I had other issues at the time.)


You could also try mounting an install iso, copying it to a scratch partion, and using that as a base to install from. (Boot a domU with that partition as root, install against another partition.)
