[Xen-users] Creating domU systems - Questions



Hi!

Finally i have my new shiny Ubuntu 7.10 gutsy server installed and ready. I'm 
using kernel 2.6.22-9-xen, and Xen 3.1.0.

Now, i have some questions which i hope you guys can answer!

First of all, what is the recommended way to setup domU's? Is it pygrub? If so, 
what is the best way to create another ubuntu feisty image for example?
Create a disk, partition it, mount the partitions, debootstrap it, install a 
kernel and grub, and pygrub boot from that?

When using pygrub, do i need to create a volume (lvm) and then partition it? Or 
can i use the volume itself, and format it directly without creating a 
partition table? ( Thus using it as a partition and not a "disk". )

Am I correct in stating that distros that use kernel 2.6.23 and up don't need a 
special version anymore, since domU support is now natively in the kernel? And 
that those will run great with pygrub?

Thanks a lot!

Kind regards,

Bart Verwilst
