Read my post to the list, where I apologized to sending directly to you, as I
will not read said thread.

OK, that gives me a better understanding of what I need to do, I didn't think it
would bas as easy as above.

I have read the manual, the howtos and the wiki and have been searching the
Internet. I needed some clarification on what I was thinking and to help me
understand what I was assuming to be the way to do an install. I always thought
a mailing list was a place where one could ask questions from other users who
had more knowledge. I understand now that the xen mailing list is not such a
list.

Thank you for the help,

Jon
