I have not been able to find one useful link on how to make a chroot
installation of Suse  (to boot a Suse VM). Is there any other way this can
be accomplished? I found one link but it was too much haking.I am sure
someting simple must be outhere.

I'd be not so sure. SuSE is not so easy to build from a non-SuSE system, and it's not so easy to find information on how to do that. Maybe some SuSE mailing list can tell you more about this. When I had to do this for another purpose, I finally found that the easiest way was to build a SuSE base/chroot install from a running SuSE system in real hardware or some full virtualisation tool as VmWare Player or qemu. Maybe you can try to use yum or rpmstrap. (if you told the link you tried one could tell if you maybe already tried this) Henning _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
