I am 99.99% sure, just to be 100% I am going to do another pristine
module spin. This is indeed odd as one would assume everyone is using
modules for server type iron. I also got bit by the xen-br0 to xenbr0
change, xm create should have slapped me for thhis.

I was holding this email up until I spun a module one again but..

[tazman@pluto ~]$ telnet xenbits.xensource.com 80
Trying 217.147.82.57...
telnet: connect to address 217.147.82.57: Network is unreachable
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Network is unreachable

My hg co is failing :-(

Regards,
Ted
