Re: [Xen-users] Can Ubuntu HVM guests be installed on a loopback fs imag

Yes, guests don't know what their storage is so it's quite easy to make a
guest install on a file-backed VBD. We recommend using blocktap rather than
loopback to support file-backend VBDs.
In general, you'd just create the VBD file, download an Ubuntu install ISO and
create a config file that pointed to the VBD file as hda and the ISO as the
CD-ROM. Then you start the VM and install normally.

What is this alternate ISO you're using? Is it the text mode install ISO,
or...? Just a link to where you got it from would be helpful ;-)
On my AMD Xen box I can install Ubuntu using the live CD / graphical installer
OK. This is on CentOS Xen 3.1.
