RE: [Xen-users] xen requirements for windows OS

["Petersson, Mats" <Mats.Petersson@xxxxxxx>]

I've never installed for Para-virtualization, so I can't say. There are
several web-sites that have explanations on how to do this, tho', I'm
100% sure. [I've seen it on the list before]. 

Can you try to write proper english in the future, as "ne" to me is
"northeast", not "any", for example. If you want to have an educated
discussion, it's probably a good idea to sound clever rather than
stupid. 

As to the disk-space, it depends on what else you want to do with it.
Just like "how big a hard-disk do I need in my machine". You can get a
minimal installation into a few gigabytes (less than 2GB even), but if
you want to install a web-server and run a big database, you may need
100GB... 

I've copied this back to the list, as I'm not really the right person to
help you with PV-questions.
