I tried by hosting CentOS on Dom0 and dom0 had a webserver but doing
installation it gaves following error
Unable to retrieve             |
                       | http://http://172.21.100.147/  |
                       | /centos/images/stage2.img.

Where as I checked that file is there on the webserver.

I have uploaded a snapshot.

If they are not clear let me know where to upload if any one
interested to see them.
