Someone pointed to me about the EyeOS .. few days ago , i think.. or is it previous weekend ?
hehe..
anyway.. I managed to get it up and running at.. another subdomain. (drumroll please.. 8-))
well.. i don’t know if this really mean a cloud computing though..
as from the first test..
i open “Navigator” in the EyeOS…
.. the try access my home pc website at http://home.namran.net/
and while doing this.. i monitor the log with..
tail -f /var/log/httpd/access.log
to see where did it really come from..
interestingly .. it shows that it had serving to a request my own laptop ip address..
192.168.1xx.250

so .. it could be just a “Camouflage” interface..
not really the thing from there.. like what we had in the “torrentflux” thing..
where it would be the originating from the hosting IP address.. so that we can get ‘stuff’ downloaded pretty quick.
I was thinking/dreaming to use it to download something stuff from rapidshare.. trying to download some files simulatanously ..
hahhahaa..
well.. here is the screenshot from that EyeOS..
Login screen..
[ad#postad]
User Desktop..
.. Application.
.. Document writer.. interestingly can open both from windows(.doc) and also from OpenOffice (.odt)
.. System Preferences for user.
.. for super user.. (root). can see something like this.
.. after done playing.. logout..
[ad#postad]
anyway .. the registration for new user is still open.. can register yourself and get in here ..
have a feel by playing with and put your comment below..
… user can change also change themes, send msg, add email account client..bla..bla.
Finally,the installation process of EyeOS quite straight forward..
- extract the file..
- change permission for some 3 files / component.. namely the folder installer, index.php, eyeOS package file
- run the installation script from the web browser..
that’s it.
.. it reset back the permission to suit operational of eyeOS accordingly after install..
.. the files uploaded by user to the eyeOS is stored in some folder under eyeOS ..
“with some random number and alphanumeric” appended to the filename and folder name..
such as cookies
.. no need mySQL table or whatsoever..
.. i don’t think security was the best.. however it got some session based on IP address locking thing .that can be enabled by administrator.
Except it couldn’t do a ‘character-by-character’ on-the-fly update during conversation between user (like Google Wave),
the rest of it.. i think is okay provided the very small footprint of this OS .. hehehe
p/s : I don’t really know if this would really mean a cloud computing..
enlighten me please..

HawkEye,
I have followed your directions, but I get an error at the end start of the build: “ValueError: Could not find an installable distribution at ‘/data/iso/WinXP_SP2_EN.iso'”
I have tried various ways to create a WinXP iso, your directions were the last I used. All other attempts also failed…Not sure what to try next. When I check the file, it seems to be OK…
file /data/iso/WinXP_SP2_EN.iso
/data/iso/WinXP_SP2_EN.iso: ISO 9660 CD-ROM filesystem data ‘VRMPOEM_EN ‘ (bootable)
Any Ideas?
Perhaps would verify the WinXP CD is actually not corrupted.. and if the CD-Drive is working fine..
then .. check if the iso files actually accessible by the xen lib..
else should check the xen lib is properly installed and also verify the current running kernel is xen enabled..
then might be a reinstall the virtualization group would be the next thing to try ..
btw: what host are u using ? .. my experience was based on CentOS 5.2 host.. so far it went smooth as above..
I have built the iso several times, once from Windows CD burner app and twice with “dd” command like you showed…no reported issues…only assuming it is OK.
How would I verify it is accessible by “xen lib”?
How would I check to see if xen lib is properly installed?
I am installing on IBM x345 dual Xeon 2.4GHz cpu with 4GB ram (single cores). I did the install of “Virtualization” group per some earlier notes I saw on the subject…I cannot do the “Fully Virtualized” install because the hardware I have doesn’t support it…so I did the Paravirtualized option.
Any suggestions I could try tonight would be greatly appreciated.
check the xen kernel by running this at terminal
uname -a
shall be ended with -xen at the end..
mine is something like this..
[root@fedora ~]# uname -a
Linux fedora.namran.net 2.6.18-92.1.22.el5xen #1 SMP Tue Dec 16 13:08:49 EST 2008 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
and the file

How do you look for information for your blog content?
Thanks HawkEYE for guiding me how to install windows XP on XEN virtualization in CentOS 5. The way you have enplane it make pretty easy to do it.
Actually no matter if someone doesn’t understand after that its up to other visitors that they will help, so here it happens.
