| Wow, thats a great idea.
I never even thought of shutting that stuff down.
Do you keep libvirt off and remove the bridge permanently?
You mind posting some example configs?
I realize they are only a few lines long and I have a few to base others on but I am curious.
This seems like a cool way of doing it.

I've read through this thread. Is there a consensus here? When I first
started on xen it used the files in /etc/xen/vm for configs, and to
autostart on boot you would put a softlink under /etc/xen/auto.
Should I be doing this a different way?
Thanks,
James
ps- sorry this got so long....
You know I could be wrong on this but I think the config.sxp way has to do with
libvirt. Virt-install and virsh manage libvirt domains I believe. The first thing I do
to a Xen Dom0 is shutdown libvirtd or delete the bridge that it creates so I can manage
everything I do myself. This also means I create /etc/xen/config files from template.
