Looks good, but there seems to be at least one problem: you need a special
kernel to run under xen... qemu and vmware work with standard kernels.
Building an extra kernel is not such a big problem; but maybe you are not
able to catch all installation problems if the kernel behaves in some way
differently than the real one.
