Hi
I can contribute a CentOS3.4 image and FC4t1 (domU?) basically a rootfs 
"core" install with network, openssh, yum, wget and httpd. I'll get them 
uploaded tomorrow. 2GB compresses to around 81MB (.bz2). Is there a 
preferred "image" configuration? All I've added is a basic /etc/fstab, 
and the RH networking scripts to get started, but they work and I'm 
using them.
I noticed the UML community provide disc images on their site. I was 
hoping to "borrow" one to get started with Xen but the OS versions seem 
a little out of date now.
