Latest version of virt-install can automatically extract a Xen kernel/initrd
from ISO images / CDROM device for Fedora / RHEL / CentOS, and will try and
generate a kenrel/initrd for Xen with SLES distros (SLES doesn't provide
pre-built initrds for Xen in install trees).  Still normally need to install
from some form of network source unless your distro is small enough to fit
on a single CD.
