DESCRIPTION

	 xen-create-nfs is a simple script which allows you to easily create
	a single configuration file for a Xen guest which will mount its remote
	filesystem over an NFS root.

	 It doesn't create any images to use for local storage, and it doesn't
	support more than the minimal number of options to completement the
	existing xen-create-image script, however it is hopefully useful.

REFERENCE

	 For more details on what you'll need to support NFS-root Xen guests
	the following article, written by the author, might be useful:

NAME

       xt-customize-image - Customize a freshly installed copy of GNU/Linux

SYNOPSIS

	 xt-customize-image [options]

	 Help Options:
	  --help     Show this scripts help information.
	  --manual   Read this scripts manual.
	  --version  Show the version number and exit.

	 Debugging Options:
	  --verbose  Be verbose in our execution.

	 Mandatory Options:
	  --location The location of the new installation
	  --dist     The name of the distribution which has been installed.

	 All other options from xen-create-image, such as the new IP address(es)
	to give to the new instance, will be passed as environmental variables.

NOTES

	 This script is invoked by xen-create-image after it has created a
	fresh installation of Linux withing a temporary location.

	 This script will be invoked with a full copy of the arguments from
	xen-create-image in its environment, along with several command line
	arguments.

	 The command line arguments which are mandatory are:

	  --location  - The temporary installation root of the new install
	  --dist      - The distribution which has been installed.

HOOK SCRIPTS

	 The distribution name is used to locate an appropriate collection
	of scripts, or hooks, to execute to do the actual customisation.

	 The hooks will each be executed with a single parameter which is
	the directory path to the new instance.  This argument is taken from
	the --location option.

	 For the distribution named 'foo' the scripts will be loaded and
	executed from '/usr/lib/xen-tools/foo.d'.  Each executable will
	be loaded and executed in sorted order.
