Hi Jeroen,

I could not understand the second option of yours .
* Install your OS on a physical machine, make a tarball of the entire machine and unpack it again on your partitions.

Could you please explain a bit more about it.

Thanks
Dushmanta

Hi,

Things you will need to do yourself is create a file or an LVM region or something else where your machine will live on. Make partitions and put a file system on it. From here, you have 2 options:

* use tools like rpmbootstrap to install a fresh system on your partitions

* Install your OS on a physical machine, make a tarball of the entire machine and unpack it again on your partitions.

Then copy /lib/modules/xen-x.x.x.x to your machine under /lib/modules and you’re off!

Cheers,

Jeroen
