First of all, why on earth would you want to use FC6? FC8 is available.
I prefer RHEL/CentOS 5.1 though. Other than its long lifetime, RHEL 5's 
virt-manager creates domU config as a file on /etc/xen, so (for me) it's 
easier to manage

In that case contact jailtime.org people.

I would prefer to use pygrub and have domU kernel located on domU, which 
is what you get by default if you use virt-manager.

You probably need to edit /etc/inittab and get mingetty to start on xvc0 
or ttyS0. This is a somewhat advanced configuration, so (given your 
questions) I would recommend that you start with Centos 5.1 and 
virt-manager.

This shows that your domU is bridged to eth0. It MIGHT work, if you have 
DHCP on eth0's network or you configure domU's ip address correctly. I 
recommend you choose "Virtual Network" instead of "Shared physical 
devices" when creating domU through virt-manager, which would bridge 
domU's interface to virbr0 and NAT-ed to outside world.

No, it shouldn't matter in this case.
