[Xen-users] Installing Debian as guest VM

[Fasiha Ashraf <feehapk@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I use this command to create guests on debian etch

 xen-create-image --hostname=D5G3 --size=7Gb --swap=1Gb \--ip=10.11.21.106 --netmask=255.255.254.0  --gateway=10.11.21.3 \--dir=/home/xen \--debootstrap --dist=lenny --mirror=http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ --passwd
 
kindly tell me some way to install a mirror  from bootable CD

Regards,
Fasiha Ashraf
