Debian install log

  • run: linux26 vga=771
  • install debian stable, with a minimal OS (ssh, nfs, no X)
  • get Xen 3.0, install it, and
  • set up debian stable as dom1 - use this as the main work env (if i can stand it)
  • set up dom2 as a debian unstable testbed

I wish I could have the best of all worlds - ThinkpadT42pOSX
