You can install guest OS from CD ? How?

That's what I've been doing up to now.
Installing a new guest OS for me is now a matter of
creating new LV - mkfs - untar - create xen config - boot.
ssh-keys are generated on first guest OS boot, initial IP information 
obtained from DHCP.
No reboot of host OS (Domain-0) necessary.
