Hi,
The uninstall target of the xen source distribution does not only delete
any file installed by xen, but it seems to completely delete /etc/xen,
so all my self-created config files have just been deleted when I did that.


The uninstall target should definitely only delete files it copied at
install time, and try to rmdir /etc/xen, which fails if a user added own
config files.

Henning
