compiling
a kernel is not hard, and trying Xen is worth learning how to do it!)
+* About networking:
+
+ By default Xen modifies your networking configuration, creating a bridge.
+ To avoid breaking a machine''s connection to the network the debian
package
+ doesn''t touch the network configuration unless requested. On the
other hand
+ xen needs to connect the guest domains somewhere, in order for them to have
+ networking, and expects that the xen bridge exists. You should hand-tune
+ your networking configuration by editing /etc/xen/xend-config.sxp and
+ possibly /etc/network/interfaces to decide how to connect your domains to
+ the network.

Guido Trotter, for the Debian Xen Team.
