Re: [Xen-users] Terminal Freezing when I try to start a domain

[David Corral <david.corral@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This was exactly my problem when trying to run Windows on Xen. I was expecting 
some kind of graphical console, showing the windows installation program, or 
something, but I was told I needed VNC.

I got it working with VNC, and solved the freezing console issue, but the 
performance was really poor.

Is this the way of displaying Windows on Xen, via VNC?

Tell me if you find another solution.
