This is not a complete list of the ways you can install a VM either. My personal preference is to manually create the filesystem for the VM and then install the OS core with yum. Then after tweaking some config files you can start up the VM and finish installing whatever else you want with yum as well.
While I don't think that this should be the recommended install method it might be worth mentioning and even giving a wiki page with some instructions on how to do it this way. Doing an install like this is actually very good for a newbie because you "get your hands dirty" and get a really good understanding of how yum works and the internals of the distro.
@Peter, Would you mind sharing the process? (on the CentOS or Xen wikis OR share a link to a write-up online?)
This piques my curiosity and I'd like to know more. ;-) Thanks!
Indeed it does!
If you're up for it, Xen wiki will be glad to host it! :-P
We've got both CentOS and Fedora categories on the Wiki, both hosting various pages, guides, instructions, etc., but none of them (I think) goes through the procedure you mentioned:
http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Category:CentOS http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Category:Fedora
Feel free to add it! :-)
+1 :-D
Regards, Dario
