My first thought to your suggestion was "Read the manual? What a novel idea." :-) (I've been using the book Xen Virtualization as my main source of information.) Which manual are you talking about? I reviewed the xen user manual (
http://tx.downloads.xensource.com/downloads/docs/user/) but couldn't find any discussion on the virtual machine console - just the serial console. Clicking help in the virtual machine console didn't do anything. Either I didn't include the help system during install or there is no help yet.
Can you point me to the manual?
