- Installation using CD. Customized package selection, everything deselected except base utilities.
- Log in for the first time
- Create swap file:
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile1 bs=1024 count=262144
# mkswap /swapfile1
# swapon /swapfile1
# chmod 640 /swapfile
- Add following line to /etc/fstab:
/swapfile1 swap swap defaults 0 0
- Install kernel-xen, install group Virtualization.
- Install sudo, xauth.
- Turn off selinux in /etc/selinux/config
- Set a static IP dom dom0, since the xen kernel doesn't like to bring up eth0 through dhcp
- Run yum update, and add exclude=kernel* to /etc/yum.conf
- Check whether correct kernel is configured in /boot/grub/menu.lst, then reboot
- Made complete disk LVM'ed.
- Straight copy of an LVM device to another works.
Todo:
- Boot with laptop and serial cable

- Lock down sshd
- Remove server keys from image, set IP address, change MAC address, shut down and remove superfluous services
- Set hostname and static IP on www2.
- Install s/w on www2.
- Lock down dom0
- Copy www2 to ns1.
