Greg,
Why don't you just mount it and copy the stuff over to a physical/logical volume? That's what I did. For example, for download the Debian 3.1 image file from jailtime, and do the following from your dom0:
# mount -o loop debian.3-1.img /mnt # mkdir -p /osTemplates/debian31_base # cp -ax /mnt/* /osTemplates/debian31_base
Make a swap file, create a config file, and away you go!

has a bunch you can simply download and run. But how are they in
terms of performance? Can't imagine it can be good to use as a disk-
intensive, production domU.
Does anyone know how it compares to say straight IDE partition, IDE +
software RAID, or even IDE + software RAID + LVM?
While at it, what do you all think is the best domU FS setup?
S Newbie question. Can't you create a partition bigger than the filesystems at jail.org, then use dd to put them on the raw partition? ie. download the filesystem from jail.org as the file orig_file_from_jail.org dd if=orig_file_from_jail.org of=/dev/hda6 bs=4k Greg
