intended for a dedicated partition or usb stick -- we've tried both, it's fine.

But we can't get domU started -- something busted in the hotplug scripts.

To boot:

untar it, look at the grub/menu.lst, for the 'horrible tiny xen thing'
entry, use that in your grub, adjust it for whatever partition/device
you have it on, and boot.

Once up, just type 'runme'.

we have found it useful to:
put this on (e.g.) /dev/hda6 with your normal linux on /dev/hda1

boot
mount -r /dev/hda1 /mnt
PATH=$PATH:/mnt/bin:/mnt/usr/bin

then you can strace etc.
