Xen integration in FC4

[Poophead]

The Fedora webpage says Xen will be "integrated" into the system.
My question is - what exactly does this "integration" imply?
What's the difference between just getting the RPM and installing it?
Will I not get the same result?

Can anyone who's using one of the test releases tell me/give me an idea of what they've put in?



Thx.

It means Zen will come with FC4.
Xen needs to be booted via a special kernal.
Xen needs to be configured and started.
The virutal kernals need to be set up.
The choices for how the virtual system will run needs to be made. (memory, virt disk, shared disks, individual (boot, root, swap)
Some choices may impact the FC4 system, the speed, and functionatity of Zen.

Installing the rpm (won't work on FC3, already with FC4) will not make the Zen system work, that's only the begining.

It may not be quite ready for primetime when FC4 releases, but it's certainly a good startNot as much of the Xen stuff has landed as I might have liked, but we'll have the basics and then further can continue to happen in rawhide.

How good does FC4 test work? What have you tried installing or running on top of Xen?
