Hi everyone,
This is my first attempt at a PV guest install from scratch and I'm a
tad confused. Have I answered one of the questions virsh-install asks
wrongly?
Does anyone know of a general guide for installing PV guests with
virsh-install? (Most Centos docs seem to use the GUI based virt-manager
and I only have command line access).
Am I meant to make use of the files here:
http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/mirror.centos.org/5.3/os/x86_64/image
s/xen/
Thanks,
Rob
