To create a new guest system, click on the ''New'' button to display the first configuration screen.Click the ''Forward'' button to proceed to the ''Naming'' screen and enter a name for the virtual machine. This can be any name you choose. On the next page, you can choose to configure a Full or Para-virtualized method. The ''Full'' virtualization option will only be selectable if your hardware supports it: [[Image:xen_choose_virtualization_method.jpg]] Select ''Para-virtualized'' and press ''Forward''. The next screen requires information about the location of the operating system installation files. Currently guest operating systems can only be installed over a network or the internet. The easiest way is to provide the http address of the operating system installation files. To install the i386 Fedora 7 distribution you might, for example, enter: <tt>http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/7/Fedora/i386/os/</tt>  Alternatively, select a mirror site closest to your geographical location from the [http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/publiclist Fedora mirror list]
