			This is a very young program, and likely has lots of bugs. '''''DO NOT''''' use this on a machine that matters. It ''should'' work, but I make no guarantee that it won't hose your machine. Please report success or failure.

Created page with '{{header}} = What? = '''PXDI'''; Pasik's Xen Dom0 Installer, is a tool to download, compile and install everything needed to get full Xen support on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.…'

{{header}}

= What? =

'''PXDI'''; Pasik's Xen Dom0 Installer, is a tool to download, compile and install everything needed to get full Xen support on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

It's designed for developers, mainly. Once Pasi/Xen gets their RHEL 6 repository working, I would advise no longer using this program.

= Credit and Blame =

This program was written to automate Pasi Kärkkäinen's [http://wiki.xen.org/xenwiki/RHEL6Xen4Tutorial tutorial]. Credit for getting Xen working belongs to him.

If this program breaks your server though, [[Digimer|blame me]].

= Download =

<source lang="bash">
</source>

= Use =

As root, with an Internet connection and after having added the RHEL Server Optional repository to your server, simply run:

<source lang="bash">
./pxdi_rhel6.pl
</source>

The install will take quite some time, depending on your Internet connection and processing power. In particular, the install will appear to pause while yum is downloading. This is because yum doesn't write download progress to STDOUT and I've not yet worked around it. Just be patient. :)
