I have read the docs. They however don't seem to say a lot and only really talk about installing a F7 guest. I have no need of an F7 guest - I'm running it already, so don't need a second copy. But I do want a Windows guest, but the docs are of little use at all. I joined the feora-xen list but it's pretty inactive, and my questions get few anwers, if any. My question is pretty simple. How do I install a windows. centos or ubuntu guest using my local CD and allowing it to access the net? On 10/06/07, Rahul Sundaram <sundaram@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:

If they worked! See http://docs.fedoraproject.org/. Questions can be directed to fedora-xen list.
