Thank you so much for the reply... :) I am trying to build this on OpenSUSE-11.4.
And you said that I can get distro provided packages. I just want to ask whether installing those packages will work? Where can I get those packages? Can you please provide the link. I am scared of playing with the kernel as I am doing these things on a server that is why I am asking these things. // Varun On Fri, Jun 21, 2013 at 9:05 PM, Dario Faggioli <raist...@linux.it> wrote: > On dom, 2013-06-16 at 22:09 +0530, varun bhatnagar wrote: > > Hi, > > > Hi, > > > I am trying to install xen and provide libvrit support to it but while > > installing at some point of time it tries to connect to GIT repository > > and creates a clone but I am behind firewall and it is getting timed > > out.... :( > > > Ok, so you're trying building Xen from the sources, right?
