I'm running Debian, Lenny, to be specific. I'm using only the tools
that come as Debian packages, and I'm creating the DomU's with
xen-tools.
I'm glad to hear that this should at least be possible. I figured it
should be, but was beginning to wonder.
The version of Xen that is in the Lenny repositories is 3.2. As far as
your reference to libvirtd is concerned Lenny has a few libvirt
packages, none of which I have installed, and they areall libraries to
executable programs, per se, I do have a package named Convirt
installed, which came out of unstable, and it's used for creating
virtual machines in Xen. From what I've seen of it playing around with
it, it's just as easy to use xen-tools though and I haven't see anything
there about creating network connections with it.
There is a Debian package called virtinst whose home page is from
RedHat. Here's the output from apt-cache show virtinst. Is this the
same as the libvirtd package that you're talking about?
