Re: [Xen-users] XEN Howto/ Host FC7 Guest Windows Me or Xp

["admin@xxxxxxx" <admin@xxxxxxx>]

I found the following Howto for FC7.
"http://www.howtoforge.com/xen_gui_fedora_7_desktop";

My problem is the file entered on the second window from the top 
displayed on the following page
"http://www.howtoforge.com/xen_gui_fedora_7_desktop_p2";

AGAIN I ask, Should the file be created first as a file,  with dd as an 
image or does this do it automatically?
The person who created the HOWTO selected a file /home/xen/Fedora-7 
without saying HOW he created the file/image.
Surely someone here must have used it and must know?
