Many of the regular distributions are starting to distribute a Xen-ified
kernel version on their install kit...

As there are quite a few different distros around, it would be quite a
task to do something sensible with this if you start off building a CD
with Xen as the basis, and then adding a distro - Xen + SuSE, Xen + RH,
Xen + Fedora, Xen + Debian, Xen + Mandrake, etc, etc. It's much better
to have the distributions come with Xen itself... ;-)
