SUSE Linux 10.1 i386 minimal install image for Xen.

The tarball contains a filesystem for SUSE Linux 10.1 with the
Xen kernel and some tiny modifications to make Xen run more smoothly.
Please unpack it to some filesystem (optionally filesystem image or
LVM volume) before use.

SUSE101 is the config file for this VM.

Export the filesystem as hda1 to the guest; optionally prepare another
parition with mkswap and export it as hda2. 
You can also export one block device as a whole disk.
Use fdisk on a file; losetup it and use kpartx to create the device
mapper mappings to access the partitions on the disk file image.

If your Xen tools support domUloader, you should use it to boot the
same kernel that has the modules in the root filesystem.a
Edit the config file accordingly.

The virtual machine will get an IP address via dhcp and start a VNC
server on port 5900.

You can login into the VM using the root password 'admin'. You can
connect to the machine using vncviewer and the password 'Kongress'.
Before you expose the VM to a non-private network, you should change
both passwords. The VNC password can be changed using vncpasswd inside
the VM.

Please also change the MAC address -- otherwise you'll run into 
networking trouble if you have multiple copies of the VM in your
network.

If your base distro is SUSE, setting up virtual machines is actually 
very easy. Use the yast2-vm module. So you might not gain much using 
this image.

Enjoy!
