I made a typo and skipped the "not" in "this probably would run paravirtualized". Yes, I'm sure it won't run paravirtualized. AFAIK Xen can also install and run fully virtualized guests. The problem is that install location. (maybe there are others, but this at least is the one I'm facing now). Qemu: I haven't ever used it. Would you recommend using it in this case? Can I run that side-by-side with Xen? Are the rpms part of CentOS? Kai -- Kai Schätzl, Berlin, Germany Get your web at Conactive Internet Services: http://www.conactive.com
