Re: [Xen-users] XCP: VM installation in XCP 0.5 is behaving strangely

[GÃmes GÃza <geza@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

At http://www.xvpsource.org/?topic=build&page=appliancevm there are
detailed information of how to set up xvpappliance first, without having
access to any graphical RFB client.
Also if you choose to tunnel the graphical consoles over https I
recommend to read the ssl certs related parts of the troubleshooting
guide at: http://www.xvpsource.org/?topic=configure&page=trouble

Good Luck!
