Is it possible to tar an existing installation running on it's own box
so that I can create a DomU from the tarball?  I see that one of the
options in xen-tools is to create from a tarball, but I'm having
difficulty finding out what options should be used, directories to be
excluded (/dev, /proc, /sys, any others?), and other gotchas.
