I'm following you on this.  I have tried to create a bootstrap CentOS
using yum.  I did run into a few problems.

Assuming that I do a groupinstall core for Fedora5/6, CentOS, etc, what
DomU kernel do I reference?

I agree with you here.  I was just trying to use these as a step to
being able to understand xen and it's workings with other distro's.

Exactly.  So how are people handling this currently for things like
CentOS?
