Re: [Xen-users] Installing Xen



Hi Mark,

Would you happen to have a little list of where I can get the bits and
pieces separately and install from source?

If I am going to get dirty with xen itself from source, I may as well do
the rest too.

Regards,
Alan

Hi Alan,

Any reason not to use the CentOS Xen packages?  I do seem to recall the
RHEL 5
version of Xen for x86_64 being classified as for testing purposes rather
than
stable / supported, so maybe that is your reason?

virt-install, virt-manager, etc are provided in CentOS / RHEL packages and
are
not part of Xen.  You can install them from the CentOS repositories but - and
I'm going on ancient memories here - as I recall they are somewhat linked to
also installing the Xen RPMs from the repositories, so doing mix & match with
the packaged virt-* and your source install of Xen could also be tricky.

If you don't want to go down that route, I guess the alternative would be to
download the source versions of virt-* and friends and install them manually?
Not so appealing, I'll admit...

Cheers,
Mark
