I do this sort of thing pretty regularly with the files in the images/xen directory on the CentOS cd. I use a config file like the following, and just do a "xm create -c norman" or "xm create -c norman mode=install". John # Xen config file for norman, the mail guy # # use "xm create [-c] <hostname>" to start; add "mode=install" to reinstall! # # modify the next block at a minimum name = "norman" memory = "128" # memory for normal operation ip = "192.168.7.8" disk = ['phy:domU/norman,xvda,w', 'phy:domU/mail,xvdb1,w', ] # change this if you want to add extra interfaces vif = [ 'mac=00:16:ee:' + ":".join(ip.split('.')[1:4]) + ', bridge=intbr', ] # # probably, for paravirt, we don't have to change anything below here # vcpus=1 nographic=1ksfile = "http://summerlite.foobar.com/distro/bigu/kickstart/ks-" + name + ".cfg" uuid = "99806a2d-827e-da4d-4131-fc32" + ''.join(map(lambda x:"%02X"%int(x),ip.split('.'))) # test if mode variable is defined try: mode except NameError: mode = 'normal' if mode == 'normal': # this is for after install bootloader="/usr/bin/pygrub" on_reboot = 'restart' on_crash = 'restart' else: # these are for install # memory = "512" kernel = "/v/xen/images/vmlinuz-centos-5.1-x86_64" ramdisk = "/v/xen/images/initrd-centos-5.1-x86_64.img" extra = "text console=xvc0 ks=" + ksfile extra = extra + " dns=192.168.7.5" extra = extra + " gateway=192.168.7.1" extra = extra + " ip=" + ip extra = extra + " netmask=255.255.255.0" on_reboot = 'destroy' on_crash = 'destroy' TMC wrote: Boris disclaimer - I don't use centos, so I have very little clue... here are some ideas tho... is there a debootstrap equivalent for CentOS? Have a search for 'Centos network install' or 'centos kickstart'.and perhaps 'centos xen guest' and see what you come up with.

I think I'm not searching properly. Can anybody give me a tip, o maybe a how-to about it? Right now I've a little problem with this and it's giving me this error message: xenconsole: Could not read tty from store: No such file or directory Any ideas?

I just wanna know how to install any linux distro from a cd or a iso image. As I said in my previous mail, maybe I'm not searching well... That's it.
