[one-users] Ubuntu and Xen - express installation?

[Anders Branderud]

Hello to everyone!

Thanks Daniel for your reply!

Has anyone created any express installation script for Ubuntu and Xen? [I
know about the express installation scripts that are available on the
website.] If so, I would be happy if you would be willing to share it, so
that I could use it.

Thanks!
Anders Branderud

[Personal blog] bloganders.blogspot.com  : Logical reasons - based on
scientific premises - for the existence of a Creator and that He hasn't left
His sapient creatures without an Instruction Manual - Torah ['books of
Moses'] - to ascertain, and aspire to, His purpose.
