Hi all, I'm looking after a XenServer (ie. from Citrix, not Xen Open Source) that's running a couple of VMs. Those VMs are being migrated to a DMZ behind a UTM appliance (which is also a VM running on the same XenServer). The virtual hardware configuration of those VMs is virtually (pun intended ;

Disabling transmission of beacon frames

2016-06-02 Thread Jan Bakuwel
Hi all, I'd like to use netboot images to install Debian VMs on a (Debian) Xen host. The copies on http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/dists/jessie/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/xen/ differ from those on http://ftp.nz.debian.org/debian/dists/jessie/main/installer-amd64/current/images
