Yes. Domain 0 is basically a linux 2.6 distribution with a kernel that has been ported to run on top of Xen. > It is my understanding that > the Xen source code installation or the binary installation both require > a properly pre installed fully functional Linux system as the basis of > Xen operation.

Yep. Once you have your bootloader set up, it boots Xen and then the kernel of domain 0 on top of it. http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/netos/xen/readmes/user/user.html#SECTION02240000000000000000 (That user manual also has a general overview of how Xen is meant to work, which I think answers most of your other questions.) > My next question: > What exactly is an HTTP/S server -- apparently it is a requirement for > browser administration access to a Xen-based system?

I'm not sure where you got that requirement -- it's needed for Xenoboot, but that's an entirely separate project, and not necessary at all for Xen.

I don't believe so, but someone on the list might correct me. :) Tim. -- Tim Deegan (My opinions, not the University's) Systems Research Group University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
