[Xen-users] domU modules..

In Redhat based distros you have a rpm called kernel-devel which appears to 
install a small part of the kernel source that's required for building 
modules against it.  I've been looking through the SPEC files trying to 
figure out what is needed.  Basically what I'm trying to do is be able to 
include downloadable tarballs that customers can download if they want to 
build there own modules.  I tried just giving them the xenU dir but it has 
symlinks back to the xen-sparse dir.

What redhat is doing looks to be a nice method, the /usr/src/kernel/version 
dir is only about 30MB (rather than ~300MB) which is good since these 
customers don't have a ton of space anyway.
