IF you want to use your existing instalation as non-privileged domain, you can, but you'll have to use Xen-patched kernel instead of your current one. -jkt -- cd /local/pub && more beer > /dev/mouth ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IntelliVIEW -- Interactive Reporting Tool for open source databases.

In principle yes. Depends if your distro allows you to run recent 2.4 kernels, uses grub as boot loader and has a recent enough Python installation. How old is United Linux Just give it a try and drop down the binary install.

So long as it has the stuff that's needed (python, python devel package, python-twisted, iproute2, bridge utils, curl devel package, zlib devel package, etc.), and you can install and boot from a Xen-ified domain 0 kernel, yes. I never used UL, so I don't know if it has all the things that are required. > Looks like a really neat program, but I am not grasping how it works. It's not a "program" per se, in that it doesn't run on top of Linux; Xen itself is a "hypervisor", or a supervisor for supervisors, that lets you partition a machine into several virtual machines and run specially-modified Linux kernels (or NetBSD, or FreeBSD, or Plan9) in each. The programs that run in domain 0 just control the Xen hyperkernel, telling it what to do. -- Derrik Pates demon@devrandom.net ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IntelliVIEW -- Interactive Reporting Tool for open source databases.

All you're going to change with a xen install is you'll add a new kernel to grub called xen, and that kernel will use a module call vmlinuz-2.6.10-dom0. In other words, it won't really affect your install ron ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IntelliVIEW -- Interactive Reporting Tool for open source databases.
