Or should I better prepare to > switch that one as well? yes, looks like -testing's /etc/xen and -unstable's /etc/xen are compatible, and i think xen2 could use xen3's configuration, but not sure about vice versa. at least xen3 has bochsrc, which is not existent in xen2. so i guess it is safer to use xen3's /etc/xen all the time to support "parallel install". regards, aq
