    I am new to Debian-Lenny and linux. I appreciate any help you could give me.

    Following this guide I have successfully set up a working Xen-Lenny host and guest. The article was very straightforward and I didnt have any issues.

    Where the article ended, I had a fully functioning lenny guest but could only use the text based console. Doing some reading, I found some options to enable vnc to display a graphical desktop. I am struggling with this and need some help.

    I have enabled vnc in the lenny guest configuration file, and I guess I am not really understanding on the proper steps to get vnc up and running on a single machine.

    Any info, or websites you could point me to would be appreciated.

    I basically want to view the Lenny guest in the vnc viewer window and use it as it was a graphical desktop.

    Thank You!

    I think you need to enable vnc in /etc/xen/xend-config.sxp.
