OK after all the reading it appeared CentOS had the popular vote. So I 
download 6 CDROMS and installed on my system.
I start the Virtual machine manager and fumble my way through it and 
manage to get a PV install started.
I set the install media location to be /dev/scd0, put the first CentOS 
disk in and start the install. Sure enough the console window for poped 
up with the CentOS disk1 already booting. It gets a little ways then 
asks for where the install media is. I select "CDROM" and it says I do 
not have a device driver for that device.
So I look at the other VC's to see if there is anything there and I see 
that there are several errors about no drivers for "vbd".
So I shutdown the VM and do a little research.
Restart the VM and get "Error creating domain: Bootloader did not return 
any data".
I assume this means that because it did not install correctly the first 
time, it will no longer try to boot from the CDROM.
So do I have to delete the VM, start over and make it re-create a new 
disk image?
Anybody have any clues?
This does not look much different that my experience with Debian Etch. 
(Except this is much prettier :)
I was under the impression that it "just worked" from a default install.
I am a total foreigner to CentOS /RedHat so if I am supposed to add a 
repository and update xen from somewhere could someone point me in the 
right direction?
Thanks for all your input.
Doug
