Choosing A Webhost:
A web hosting service is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to provide their own website accessible via the World Wide Web. Web hosts are companies that provide space on a server they own for use by their clients as well as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data center. Web hosts can also provide data center space and connectivity to the Internet for servers they do not own to be located in their data center, called colocation. more...

FC5 installation notes: msg#00084

Subject: FC5 installation notes
Just posting my installation notes here in case someone finds them useful:

Installation media setup:

  Setup FTP
     yum -y install vsftpd
     service vsftpd start

  Loopback mount the installation DVD to /var/ftp/pub
     mount -o loop /export/C-5-i386-DVD.iso /var/ftp/pub

Create a VBD for the installation

   lvcreate -L 3G -n xm-fc5-001_lv rootvg

Run the installation

   xenguest-install.py -n xm-fc5-001 \
       -f /dev/rootvg/xm-fc5-001_lv  \
       -r 256 -l ftp://192.168.0.10/pub/

Caveats:

Installer doesn't check if enough memory is available. Drop to run level 3 
and/or
mem-set other existing dom0s to lower memory (or shut them off).

Installation path is to the root of the DVD, not the Yum repository package 
path.


Copying an LVM (easy way to duplicate VBD)

1) Start with an installed DHCP enabled domU.
2) lvcreate -L 2G -n copyof_xm rootvg
3) cd /dev/mapper;  dd if=rootvg-xm of=rootvg-copyof--xm bs=1M
4) cp /etc/xen/xm /etx/xen/copyof_xm
5) edit /etc/xen/copyof_xm; change the MAC, name
6) xm create copyof_xm
