As there are quite a few different distros around, it would be quite a
task to do something sensible with this if you start off building a CD
with Xen as the basis, and then adding a distro - Xen + SuSE, Xen + RH,
Xen + Fedora, Xen + Debian, Xen + Mandrake, etc, etc. It's much better
to have the distributions come with Xen itself... ;-)

Oh yes it certainly is much better. However these distros have their own ways of implementing things. For example, i had a chance to use fedora core 5 on a live box, and i tried to use the xen version bundled along with it. Ironically they compiled xennet as a module instead of compiling it inside the kernel. Well editing the /etc/modprobe.conf and adding the alias line and doing a modprobe did the trick. However it should have worked out of the box.

I guess over a period of time, these distros will fix such issues and life will be much easier ;)
