Re: [Xen-users] Xen on USB Key

[Michael Mey <michael.mey@xxxxxx>]

Hey Jayesh,

that's a very interesting idea.
IBM is doing someting similar with VMWare, called Soulpads:
http://www.research.ibm.com/WearableComputing/SoulPad/soulpad.html

Maybe one could consider to use the Xen 3.0 Demo CD for booting and omitting 
the problem of having an installed and running Xen on every machine one wants 
to use.

Regarding the automatic network configuration when resuming a domU, maybe 
"expect" is a good way to write a script that calls xm console id, sets up 
the network within domU and finally disconnects from the console.

Regards,

Michael
