Re: [Xen-users] nOOb to convert vmware guest to xen??

["Brian" <brian@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I got into the original VMWare guest and found sda1 as / and sda5 as swap,
changed the disk lines in the .cfg, or did I not understand correctly as I
haven't read this anywhere?

Am I supposed to create a "blank" xen disk and dd the converted vmware
file to the blank??????

Some official docs would sure be nice if htere's more than the few lines
in the wiki.

This is about a deal-breaker ;~(
