Re: [Xen-users] Converting VMWare 2008 to xen domU

[Brian Krusic <brian@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Page 161 of Running Xen mentions using qemu-img command to do this  
(great book).
I am planning to try it as our bugzilla db runs on VMWare now and I  
need it as a domU.
I don't really have an ETA so perhaps you can try it and let us know.

I think all I did was yum install qemu.
