It +supports a wide range of guest operating systems including Windows, Linux, +Solaris, and various versions of the BSD operating systems. + +In order to run Xen, you will need to install and boot from a Xen dom0 +kernel. Check README.dom0 (in docs/dom0) for more information on how to do +that. + +mbootpack is an optional dependency. Since booting a Xen kernel with LILO +is not supported by default we have to use GRUB; alternatively, you can use +mbootpack to create a LILO compatible kernel. + +GRUB may be installed from Slackware's extra repository. The GRUB package +is not available from the Slackware x86_64 distribution, but the source and +a SlackBuild may be found in its extra/source repository. + +See README.SLACKWARE (which is also installed with the package docs) for +setup, configuration, and usage hints. |
