Hi all. I would need to explain something around xen and Debian Lenny.

I decided to use Debian Lenny instead of Etch because of Xen 3.1. However, when I finish the installation I found out that there is not the linux-xen image in Lenny.

Why there is hypervisor and other xen related packages and there is NOT the xen image?

My aim is to use binary packages instead of compiling anything, but using xen 3.1.
Is there any way how to achieve it? If not, what is the procedure in Lenny? You compile just the xen-image and use the binary packages in debian?

I just don't understand.

Thanks for explanation.

In addition, I am not sure if I am right, but is the idea behind it as follows:
  • Install binary package from xensource.com
  • and then install xen-tools, xen-utils, xen-docs, xen-hypervisor , xen-shell from debian binary packages
Thanks for explaining this .
