Re: [Xen-API] Is XenServer 6.2 as Broken as it Seems?

[Gene Cooper <gcooper@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

To the best of my (admittedly limited) knowledge, XenServer 6.2 is not 
fully open source by default.  I hit F3 at the bootloader screen then 
entered "install-xcp", IIRC, like this:

Thanks much for your input,

G
