Hi,

You can do the same thing:
install it using debootstrap
and then skip the instructions above to the point just after do-release upgrade (obviously that is the upgrade part) everything else should be executed on your new system
you can do it using chroot as your system is very unlikely to boot even once without this changes being done

Hey Paul,

I’m running xen with a Debian dom0 and I’m trying to install Ubuntu 10.04 LTS as a domU.

What do I need for this to work? If I want to create a fresh vm and not upgrading an old one.

Hope you could guide me

Thanks
Chris
