Re: [Xen-users] Best distro for installing dom0?

[Stephen Yum <steveyum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm curious. Can you tell me in detail how you did a 100MB of Debian?  
Do you have all the stuff to run xend AND have the development tools  
to recompile kernels? Or are you compiling the kernel on another  
machine and copying them over to the Xen box? I tried Sarge and could  
not get it down less than ~500MB with dev tools, but then again being  
a lazy bum that I am, I didn't try that hard.
But 100MB is impressive.
