The Xen 3.0.3 Demo CD is an ISO image. Download it to a file, then burn it onto a CD. Use this CD to re-boot your machine. The CD will not install Xen but will boot a Xen host (Dom0) from the CD and allow you to start additional Xen guests, which are provided on the CD.

Since the Demo runs from the CD, Xen and the guests will run much slower than if they were installed on the local hard drive.

Each binary tarball contains the compiled binaries and documents of the Xen 3.0 community release, including the following:

• Xen host or guest (Dom0 or DomU) kernel based on kernel.org 2.6.16.29
• Xen hypervisor
• Xen host (Dom0) tools used to control the hypervisor
• Xen 3.0 documentation

Each tarball is essentially the complete set of outputs that would result from downloading the Xen source tree and typing "make dist". Once you unpack the tarball you can manually insert these components into your system to create an installation of Xen.

The Xen 3.0.3 RPMs are pre-built RPM packages for a number of different Linux distributions. For each distribution there are three binary RPMs as well as a complete source RPM (SRPM). These RPMs can be used as input to the rpm tool to install Xen itself and all the necessary tools (xen-3.0.3.0*), as well as a Xen-enabled Kernel based on kernel.org 2.6.16.29 (kernel-xen-2.6.16.29-3.0.3.0*). If you plan to develop with Xen, download and install the relevant xen-devel-* RPM to get the header files and development libraries.

Note that when rpm installing the xen-enabled kernel (kernel-xen-2.6.16.29-3.0.3.0*), modules are installed and an initrd is built. However no new boot entry is automatically added to grub.conf; instead you need to do this manually.

The Xen 3.0.3 guest RPMs are pre-built RPM packages for particular enterprise linux distributions. Unlike the standard 3.0.3 host RPMS, these do not include Xen itself or the tools, but instead just include a kernel which can be used within a guest ("domU").

For SUSE Enterprise Linux 9, Update 3 (SLES 9.3), we have provided a guest kernel based on the regular SLES 9.3 2.6.5 kernel, but patched to enable it to run as a Xen guest. You should install this within a guest partition. We also provide the source RPM (SRPM) in case you wish to examine the code or rebuild the package.

For Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3, Update 8 (RHEL 3.8), we have provided a guest kernel based on the regular RHEL 3.8 2.4.21 kernel, but patched to enable it to run as a Xen guest. You should install this RPM (kernel-xenU-2.4.21*) within a guest partition. We have also included an RPM (kernel-xenU-unsupported-2.4.21*) which includes additional 'unsupported' modules for this kernel. Finally, we provide the source RPM (SRPM) in case you wish to examine the code or rebuild the package.

For Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4, Update 4 (RHEL 4.4), we have provided a guest kernel based on the regular RHEL 4.4 2.6.9 kernel, but patched to enable it to run as a Xen guest. You should install this RPM (kernel-xenU-2.6.9*) within a guest partition. We have also included an RPM (kernel-xenU-devel-2.6.9*) which has header files and configuration information for this kernel to enable the building of additional modules, etc. The the kernel-debuginfo-2.6.9* RPM has the debugging symbols stripped from the kernel modules. Finally, we provide the source RPM (SRPM) in case you wish to examine the code or rebuild the package.
