This stuff is still a bit rough at the edges, it will take a bit more effort to put it in an RPM package. So until that time, here's the recipe to configure it manually.
Draw the scripts from [the VLeForge CVS repository]. They will need some tailoring.
You need the following other stuff:
- Apache web server
- Xen DomU installation kernels
- LVM volume group with plenty of free space
- plenty of free space in /var/local/xen
- NFS server
Preparation
Create the directories
/var/local/xen /var/local/hostkeys
The former will have almost all the stuff we need, the latter will have ssh host keys (possibly also SSL certs+keys)
