Re: [Xen-users] Connect to Xen console

Hi;
I am not very experienced in xen but I think the first thing xen creates is
Domain-0 (by default) But you still have to create xen virtual machines
Under that Domain-0, I have never been able to log into the domain-0 itself
but the machines under it.
I mean when you run xend the dom-0 comes up but it is just a name not a real
machine.(I think)? 
You have to create a config file under /etc/xen (or where ever you have the
xen config files) and then do an xm create (+ the name of the xen guest
machine mentioned in the config file).

I posted a sample of this config. file yesterday, but mine has problems
(although it comes up). 
Basically it points to the boot files under /boot directory, sets the
machines name and amount of memory,, cpu's and other things, so you can set
how small or big you want to have your machine made.etc..

Also you have to do ctrl alt 5 to get out of the xen machine (took me a
while to figure it out since no one ever mentions the dumb thing)!?
