===Project 2 - VM Server Install===

First step of this project is to do a fresh install of the physical VM server.
     - F12 -> System Setup -> Integrated Devices -> Integrated NIC. Restart.
     - 32-bit(i386)-> Debian/i386 Netboot.install Lenny Stable[text]
     - Setup -> Enter mirror manually -> mirror -> /debian/ 
     - Setup install -> install nothing -> install grub boot loader
     - Reboot and change the boot prioirty back to normal.

While running as root run the following.... 
     - userdel -r vm02
     - cd/etc/apt
     - rm sources.list
     - wget http://10.80.2.6/files/student/sources.list
     - aptitude updaate
     - aptitude upgrade
    
Next...
     - Aptitude install openssh-client open ssh-server
     - aptitude install xen-linux-system-2.26.26-2-xen-686
     - aptitude install xen-tools

Next...
     - cd /etc/xen
     - vi xend-config.sxp
         - Find the line (network-script network-bridge) and remove the # to uncomment this line.
         - Find the line (network-script network-dummy) and add a # to commentout this line.
         - Make sure that (vif-script vif-bridge)
         - To quickly find these lines rather than scrolling through hit enter while not in insert mode and use a forward slash(/) and type in what you want to match.
 
Next...
     - vi /etc/modules
     - Set loop maxloop = 255
 
Next...
     - cd /boot/grub
     - vi menu.lst~
     - Scroll down untill you find 4 lines pertaining to xen that do not have a .gz attached to them; remove those lines.
     - Do this for the 3rd and 4th group of quad lines as well.
     - After you've removed those 3 groups of 4 lines. There should be one remaining, on the line speficied as Kernal change it to match..
           * kernel          /boot/xen-3.2-1-i386.gz dom0_mem=262144
      
Next...          
     - cd /etc/xen-tools
     - vi xen-tools.conf
     - Search for the line #dir = /home/xen
     - Remove the # and /home from the line. It should look like dir = /xen
     - Uncomment install-method = debootstrap
     - Down a little further find the "Disk and Sizing options" section and change the following...
           * size = 2Gb
           * dist = lenny
     - Down further find the line that says dhcp = 1, and uncomment.
     - Going further, the line passwd = 1, uncomment.
     - serial_device = hvc0 #default, uncomment at the beginning of the line, leave the #default alone.
     - A couple lines down, disk_device = xvda #default, uncomment, leave #default the same.
     - At the bottom of the file uncomment and change the output line to match 
           * output = /xen/conf
     - And the same for the extention line, it should read as..
           * extension = .cfg
        
Next
     - cd /
     - mkdir /xen
     - mkdir /xen/images
     - mkdir /xen/conf
     - mkdir /xen/save
           * These can all be done at the same time, like...
           * mkdir /xen /xen/images /xen/conf /xen/save

At this point you should reboot, and see your final product up and running!
