Appendix A

Installing Xen / XenLinux on

Debian

The Debian project provides a tool called debootstrap which allows a base Debian

system to be installed into a ﬁlesystem without requiring the host system to have any

Debian-speciﬁc software (such as apt.

Here’s some info how to install Debian 3.1 (Sarge) for an unprivileged Xen domain:

1. Set up Xen 2.0 and test that it’s working, as described earlier in this manual.

2. Create disk images for root-fs and swap (alternatively, you might create dedi-

cated partitions, LVM logical volumes, etc. if that suits your setup).

dd if=/dev/zero of=/path/diskimage bs=1024k count=size_in_mbytes

dd if=/dev/zero of=/path/swapimage bs=1024k count=size_in_mbytes

If you’re going to use this ﬁlesystem / disk image only as a ‘template’ for other

vm disk images, something like 300 MB should be enough.. (of course it de-

pends what kind of packages you are planning to install to the template)

3. Create the ﬁlesystem and initialise the swap image

mkfs.ext3 /path/diskimage

mkswap /path/swapimage

4. Mount the disk image for installation

mount -o loop /path/diskimage /mnt/disk

5. Install debootstrap

Make sure you have debootstrap installed on the host. If you are running Debian

sarge (3.1 / testing) or unstable you can install it by running apt-get install

debootstrap. Otherwise, it can be downloaded from the Debian project web-

site.

6. Install Debian base to the disk image:

debootstrap --arch i386 sarge /mnt/disk \
