Hello,
Whenever I have to install a new virtual machine I usually use dd or
even more often copy the files of a preinstalled distribution
skeleton... it works. But, the disadvantage of this is that I have to
first install at least one on a real machine before I can grab the files
and start deploying virtually ... is there some way to boot directly
from an install CD and install the VM just as if it was a real machine
with a CD-ROM drive?
As I understand it you need a VT enabled processor and Xen is not quite
ready for CD booting yet (though it is set to be soon). For now
if you want to do a CD based install you'll need to setup a partition,
reboot the computer, and select that partition to install to. Not
exactly an ideal situation, but I'm not complaining. ;)
