[Fedora-xen] Running Xen on low spec single CPU

[Adrian Revill]

Hi Adrian,

Thx for the reply, gives me hope. As you can guess im new to Xen.

So how do you install the os into the DomU?
If i was installing from cd i could use linux text expert, but i cant 
see how to give the option to the Dom install.

regards
Adrian
