Re: [Xen-users] Customising a Debian XGT template.dat file
Hi Jon,
May I suggest you try the XenSource forums at
http://forums.xensource.com/index.jspa
This mailing list has mostly users of the open source Xen project, and there's
not a whole lot of community knowledge about the XenSource products here.
You might find the XenSource forums have more people who are interested in
the same things as you, so you may get a quicker response there.
It's possible that XenEnterprise expertise on this mailing list will increase
over time though.
Hope this helps you find an answer!
Cheers,
Mark
