[Xen-devel] Docs: How to create and install CentOS PVMs with xe CLI on X
Hello,
First thank you very much for XCP 1.1,
the vmvnc script and helpful hints from both xen-lists!
I hope the description below "How to create and install CentOS PVMs
with xe CLI on XCP 1.1" will be helpful for first steps without
XenCenter (as it doesn't run on Linux yet). Installation of PVM for
ubuntu 11.10 server is very similar.
I strongly suggest to read documentation of XenServer 5.6 sp2
(reference.pdf and guest.pdf) for better understanding.
Enjoy and feel free to add it to xen-wiki or to documentation if you
find it useful .
regards, Mark
