Does anyone have an answer for this, I mean it is a simple question and
you all must have done it to get Xen working.
During virt-install
"What would you like to use as the disk (path)? /home/xen/winme.img "
Do I need to create the image winme.img with dd or do I only give a
filename.
thanks.

So again, obviously the problem is at "What would you like to use as
the disk (path)? /home/xen/winme.img".
Someone can tell me what I nned to do there? Create an image just
supply a file name, what else?

I found the following Howto for FC7.
"http://www.howtoforge.com/xen_gui_fedora_7_desktop";
My problem is the file entered on the second window from the top
displayed on the following page
"http://www.howtoforge.com/xen_gui_fedora_7_desktop_p2";
AGAIN I ask, Should the file be created first as a file, with dd as
an image or does this do it automatically?
The person who created the HOWTO selected a file /home/xen/Fedora-7
without saying HOW he created the file/image.
Surely someone here must have used it and must know?

Here is the error message I get and it is not due to the cdrom.
Would someone tell me how they set up the initial file using
"Virtual Machine Manager" Gui?
I tried creating an image by hand with dd, just using a file etc.
asuming the gui will dd it by itself nothing works.
It is not clear what they expect on the "assign storage space" window.
That is the problem with GUI configs, unlike CLI you end up fighting
trivial matters easily solved with CLI configs.
If anyone used Virtual Machine Manager" Gui, let me know.
