> Has somebody found a way to install an HVM linux guest without a bootcd? > > Thanks Hi Goran, It'd probably help if we knew what you are trying to achieve here...? You can probably install a guest using emulated floppy disks, but that would be a bit masochistic :-) You could also do a network install, I guess. You could try to craft a bootable filesystem from dom0 - that's doable, but I'm not really sure what the advantage would be. IMHO the best way to install guests is to have a "gold" image that you installed from CD-ROM (or whatever your normal install process is) then just copy that disk image to make new virtual machines. Cheers, Mark -- Dave: Just a question. What use is a unicyle with no seat? And no pedals! Mark: To answer a question with a question: What use is a skateboard? Dave: Skateboards have wheels. Mark: My wheel has a wheel! _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users |
