Re: [Xen-devel] Newbee - Xenoboot CD
Hi Ted,
Just to be clear -- you know the Xenoboot CD doesn't have Xen on it,
right? It's just a piece of boot infrastructure we use for controlling
test machines.
There will be a Xen/Debian/BSD live CD available from the Xen project
site within the next few days, which does boot to Xen (but doesn't do
the boot infrastructure things that the Xenoboot does), or alternatively
Jred Rhine has made a Xen/ttylinux boot CD which is much smaller and
would be easier to download. ( http://software.wordzoo.com/xencd/ )
Tim.
