Ian Pratt wrote: It seems that it is mandatory to reboot the platform in order to install a new guest OS, from CDROMs delivered with this OS. You can install guest OS from CD ? How? After you've installed a particular distribution once, you 'can' the pristine install either by tar'ing it up, or using LVM snapshots. Depending on usage, you may need to do a little tailoring, such as generating a unique ssh host key. That's what I've been doing up to now. Installing a new guest OS for me is now a matter of creating new LV - mkfs - untar - create xen config - boot.ssh-keys are generated on first guest OS boot, initial IP information obtained from DHCP. No reboot of host OS (Domain-0) necessary.
