Hi,

I've cc:d the list because other people will probably have the same problem.

To install xen: it depends what kind of hardware you have available and 
your preferences. If you have access to a Linux box then you can install 
xen from your distribution
https://wiki.debian.org/Xen
http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Fedora_Host_Installation
http://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/Xen_Beginners_Guide

If you prefer you can run xen nested inside Virtualbox: (OS X, Linux, 
probably Windows?)

For general xen install advice, check out the xen-users mailing list:

Good luck,
David
