I want to add my following questions because in the handbook are they unfortunately _not_ explained: 1) What is this "kernel-current" ? And how can I make myself this "kernel-current" using the base system and the tools in it ? 2) What is "mdroot" ? And how can I build a "mdroot"? 3) Where are the Xen sources located? Does The FreeBSD project just write patches which are then used to modify the original sources to get Xen run on FreeBSD OR is there a fork like source repository where the FreeBSD Xen is maintained? I hope that someone can answer me these questions but also I think including the answers to the Handbook would be a great help for all who want to use Xen on FreeBSD. regards Gueven
