Did `zypper in vm-install` miss some dependencies?
By default vm-install will use libvirt to create VMs. Using the '--use-xl' flag when starting vm-install will ignore libvirt and just use Xen's 'xl' toolstack

You should select '1' here and it won't start a graphical installation
(should run in the
same window as vm-install is running).

Virtual machines can use paravirtualization or full virtualization. Paravirtualization is faster but requires operating system support. Full virtualization runs a broader range of operating systems but requires hardware support. Which do you prefer? 1: Full virtualization 2: Paravirtualization [2] >

It is working for me although I think you should specify more that a 1 Gig disk which is to small to fit even a base system with a swap file. - Charles -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-virtual+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-virtual+owner@opensuse.org
