OK, I have reinstalled stretch with legacy boot. I have wireless working and installed bridge tools. I have not done anything with the display except to use high power reading glasses.
I am concerned with the order to install these items so I don't go to reinstall #27 before necessary. I am going to have to install Xen from the host OS.
So should I install Xen then reorder the boot menu, boot and then install the rest? Is there a particular order to install and configure the other components?
I have found the bridge utilities doesn't work with a wireless connection. I was able to run wireless but when I installed a simple bridge, it failed. It looks like I need to build a virtual bridge. To build this, there is a command:
virsh
which looks like it comes from libvirt. Do I need to install libvirt-bin or does this come with Xen or does it need to be installed after Xen is installed?
This comes from:
and
Using the virtual bridge, it looks like ebtables is not used. Is there something I am missing?
