Re: [Xen-users] filesystem image of Fedora Core for Xen?

[Kristinn Soffanias Runarsson <soffanias@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Ted, glad you are willing to help.

The thing is... I think the Xen developers would like to do more
"developing" instead of hacking some distributions to boot as domU...
And I don't consider my work development ;)

I'm building these images as we speak, and 'aq' is letting me download
his debian and ubuntu images now.

Hosting would be great.. since I'm in ICELAND I don't have much
bandwidth available.

I'm using the rest of the weekend trying these images out and
hopefully get a Mandrake image going and I might take a pass at a SuSE
image.

later
