[xen-tools-discuss] About Rinse, Centos-5 and bad instalations

[CeR]

Hi xen-tools-discuss list. I'm gettin some errors trying to install centos-5
in a vm. Dom0 machine is Debian squeeze 64.

I contacted Steve from Debian team asking about rinse and he told me to ask
you.

Is there another way to install centos-5 in a vm avoiding internet
connections?

I'm getting some errors like this:

<<
# xen-create-image --hostname piccolo --ip 10.0.0.3

Setting up root password
Generating a password for the new guest.
Failed to find /etc/passwd in the install.
All done

Installation Summary
---------------------
Hostname : piccolo
Distribution : centos-5
IP-Address(es) : 10.0.0.3
RSA Fingerprint : N/A
Root Password : N/A
>>

So i haven't root pass, and when i log to the centos system, via chroot, i
haven't the passwd command!
# passwd <- missing


I think its a fail of rinse or a bad internet connection.

Any idea?

Regards!

PD: I'm a student from spain.

 Sadly not.  xen-tools lets you install from an existing copy, a
 tarball, or via rinse.  But not from CD-ROM.

 Unfortunately I'm no longer involved with xen-tools development
 and support - instead it has been taken over by another group.
 You should be able to get help via the new site:
