Xen-fedora-11

Installing Xen in Fedora 11

It seems that Xen (as Dom0) has been officially discontinued since Fedora 8 (and maybe re-introduced in Fedora 12). However, it is possible to configure it and this receipt explains how:

1. Install xen packages (using yum):

# yum install xen-hypervisor-3.3.1-11.fc11.i586 
            xen-3.3.1-11.fc11.i586
            xen-libs-3.3.1-11.fc11.i586
            xen-runtime-3.3.1-11.fc11.i586

2. Install git

# yum install git

3. Donwload Xen source code: # git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jeremy/xen.git linux-2.6-xen
