Hi Braulio,

Heres the new file:

disk = [ 'file:/var/lib/xen/images/domain1/hda,xvda,w' ]
memory = 256
kernel = "/var/lib/xen/images/domain1/vmlinuz-2.6.13-15-xen"
ramdisk = "/var/lib/xen/images/domain1/inst-initrd"
name = "domain1"
dhcp = "dhcp"
extra = "TERM=xterm textmode=1 install=nfs://172.25.243.135/var/Suse-10"
restart= "never"
root = ""
