Re: [Xen-users] How to install an HVM linux guest without bootcd?

Hi Goran,
It'd probably help if we knew what you are trying to achieve here...?
You can probably install a guest using emulated floppy disks, but that would 
be a bit masochistic :-)  You could also do a network install, I guess.
You could try to craft a bootable filesystem from dom0 - that's doable, but 
I'm not really sure what the advantage would be.
IMHO the best way to install guests is to have a "gold" image that you 
installed from CD-ROM (or whatever your normal install process is) then just 
copy that disk image to make new virtual machines.
Cheers,
Mark
