Re: [Xen-users] using gpxe to get a VM image
Thanks.
One more question. How do I need to change the VM's configuration
file? So far I have always specified the kernel and the root
filesystem (which I would not have if I used gpxe)
Besides just a curiosity. Why do you suggest to use that particular
NIC (rtl8139)? As it's going to be a VM can I use any NIC?
