* About the kernel:
- Unfortunately for now we cannot provide precompiled Linux Kernels with the
- xen patch applied and configured to work in a Domain 0 or in an unprivileged
- domain. The only thing we can give you is the patch, which is included in
- the linux-patch-xen package. You are expected to install this package,
- download a 2.6.12 kernel from kernel.org (this is the version supported by
- xen right now. The patch will make it a 2.6.12.6+xen kernel) and roll your
- own kernel.
-
+ Debian provides a xen enabled kernel in the linux-image-xen-* packages,
+ available both in unstable/testing and, for sarge, in bpo. You can use the
+ same kernel for both your domain 0 and your unprivileged domains.
+
+ Should you want to roll your own kernel this is the way you do it. First
+ download from http://alioth.debian.org/projects/pkg-xen/ the kernel patch
+ for your version of xen. Then download the relevant kernel from kernel.org,
+ apply the patch, configure and build your kernel in the standard way (with
+ kernel package). If you do it this way you can even build a different
+ lightweight kernel for your unprivileged domains, which is the standard xen
+ way to do things.

After you''ve done so you can add a section similar to this one to
your

- We will provide a "roll your own xen kernel" manual and example
config files

* About networking:
By default Xen modifies your networking configuration, creating a bridge.
