Hi all,

I would like to know the right way to install xen3 from source.

This is my current installation procedure.

First:
vi Makefile
#KERNELS ?= linux-2.6-xen0 linux-2.6-xenU
KERNELS ?= linux-2.6
This step isn't necessary now, right?

and then I do:

1. make linux-2.6-xen-config CONFIGMODE=menuconfig
2. make dist
3. make install
4. make linux-2.6-xen-build
5. make linux-2.6-xen-install

If I want to recompile the kernel to include or exclude modules, I do
steps 1, 4, 5.

This works, but is there a better/faster way?

Thanks.
Chris.
