Why the FWD in the subject? Anyway, QEMU can create its own images. But beware you need a powerful computer to work with it. I have never attempted to use Xen but AFAIK it will allow you to create an image because these are Free, OpenSource softwares unlike VPC. VPC needs a license to work. Moreover as I understand it doesnt officially support GNU/Linux. -- Dinesh A. Joshi -- http://mm.ilug-bom.org.in/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
