Hi again,

Is it possible for a person to run a downloaded raw file system in a xen 
environment?
I have downloaded a vm from the rpath.org site and want to run the vm on 
my xen system. It is a running file system that just needs to be booted.
I have manually created config files on my kvm qemu system to run this 
in the past. does xen have config files I could copy and use?
I apologies for the newbie questions.

Thanks

Lance
