Aaron,

I tried Paul's answer and it worked, even updated the version I spoke of in
my earlier post. What I did, following the instructions on the last page
Paul referred to, is add "deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian sid main" to
my /etc/apt/sources.list (without the quotes) then did;
apt-get update
apt-get install xen-utils-common
You will have to be root to do this.
In the above mirror change 'us' to a mirror near you.

Hope that helps,
Barry
PS sorry Paul I meant to send this to the list.
