Hi
My office uses a number of Windows-only tools which is forcing me to
reboot into Windows several times a say. To avoid this I'd like to set
up a virtual machine (using XEN) so I can run those tools in it.
After strugling to get Windows XP to install (halfway during the
installation it forces a restart and after this it wouldn't find the CD)
Indeed, virt-manager is quirky and behaves as your described. I have found
that directly manipulating the Xen guests through the Xen command line
interface is easier than using virt-manager in certain cases (like the
two-phase WinXX installation, for instance).
I discovered that even though all the keyboard and language settings are
in XP the keyboard layout is still wrong. We use azerty keyboards and I
have configured the virtual machine as such but *after the installation*
the keyboard is interpreted as querty. I stress *after the
installation* because somewhere during the installation you can change
the keyboard layout - which I did - and after that the keyboard layout
was interpreted correctly by the installation program.
How can I configure the virtual machine to recognize my keyboard as
azerty (be-latin1)?
