Dear Tom Lanyon,

I want to install fedora 8 as DomU . In the past i installed Fedora 8 as DomU on Fedora 8 DomU by manually i.e configuring guestOS config file as kernel,RAM disk, etc....

Hi every one,
I'm ASHOK VARMA

I want to automate the Guest OS installation on many systems (same h/w configuration ) in Paravirtualization mode which inludes the following::

1. I need a script to achive automation
2. User has to give target IP address of Dom0
3. After that general options like RAM,kernel,disk image etc... taken as input
Is there any script that is available already to achive similar task???

You didn't mention what guest OS you're trying to install.

I do the above (if I understand you correctly) for RHEL and CentOS domUs with a combination of DHCP and kickstart files.
