If I want to setup CentOS 5.1 64bit, and make it a XEN host, then install CentOS 5.0 / FreeBSD 6.0 / Fedora Core 7 32bit guests on it, would it work well? And if you say it needs to be pre-compiled, can you please tell me howto do this? What / which files do I need, and how do I get them to work on a 64bit CentOS 5.1? Currently I'm busy creating a custom installation CD for CentOS 5.1 64bit, and would like to then include the re-compiled XEN components in my kickstart. The installation CD installs the bare minimum for CentOS to run as an OS, since we're using cPanel - which installs the rest Kind Regards Rudi Ahlers CEO, SoftDux Web: http://www.SoftDux.com Forum: http://Forum.SoftDux.com Join SA WebHostingTalk today, on http://www.WebHostingTalk.co.za
