Re: [Xen-users] Installing Xen

Hi Travis,
first of all, please let me inform you that there is a fedora-xen
list, where people might know the problems and solutions for
fedora-native xen tools much better than here.

Hard to tell what your error message comes from. Please write to the
fedora-xen list and tell them, what exactly you put in when being
asked questions by virt-install.

erm, that is really not much, if you have an fedora desktop install, I
think this already eats all thius ram, from my experience, the
anaconda installer running in the vm that should be started by
virt-install wil run badly with less than 256M (for the VM, that's 256
for the desktop + 256 for the vm=512!!!)

You could try using yum with --installroot,  but I think you shpould
realy get a bigger machine than this old thing.

Did you test the xen live cd's is the machine is able to run xen vm's at all?
Apart form that, I've been never successfull installing a vm with
virt-manager - all I can wish you with it is "good luck". Virt install
should work with enough memory.
