You have the right idea, and you are correct in that it is not simple.

and believe me I know that. I have xen 2.0.5 running in production 1/4 dom0/U under gentoo and when I tried to upgrade to 2.0.7 well, things didn't go well. :-)



If you run your desktop in dom0, everything should work (assuming correct kernel config).

A good place to start for packages might be:
http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-users/2005-08/msg00765.html
but those links don't seem to be up.

If you want you can compile and install from source, but remember to always use "make ARCH=xen" when in xen-{2.0,unstable}.hg/linux-$version directories -- that includes menuconfig and compiling.

I would really like to build a repeatable process of taking the source deb, extracting essential elements and doing effectively what you described above based on the packages kernel configuration, patches, etc. etc. it will take a while for me to find the time to do this but that's the plan.

I guess that the bottom line is that if you want to get your hands dirty, then jump right in. Otherwise you might want to wait for distro specific packages.

oh, my hands are so dirty they will never come clean.
