[Xen-users] the simplest example to start

[Massimo Canonico <mex@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,
I'm new on xen and I'm sure this is gonna be a "stupid" question.

I have a Fedora 16 with a working xen:

Unfortunately, it's all day long than I'm fighting with a very simple 
problem: try to make a ttylinux (or any other small linux distro) up and 
running over Xen.
I saw many config files which "xm create -c" says they are wrong (for 
example: Error: Cannot find kernel "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6-xenU" -- or it is 
missing the initrd file...). Moreover the ttylinux (from its web page) 
comes with an "iso" file and many tutorials are not using this kind of 
file.
So, I would ask if you know some place (tutorial/blog) where I can find 
the very basic steps in order to accomplish my task. I do not care about 
ttylinux, I just want a very simple example.
Thanks for your time and sorry again for the question.

Massimo
