Xen users - Oct 2008 - How do I put a movie player into a Dom U

Hi,

I am working on putting a movie player into a guest Domain. My environment is
Xen 3.2 on top of Fedora 8.

Generally I use the same 2.6.18 kernel supplied for Xen Dom0 for my Dom U file
systems (obtained from jailtime.org).

But the jail time images are very limited in functionalities put into them. So I
would like to create a new file
system containing all the necessary libraries for my purpose. 

So my question is how should  I proceed to create a DomU file system (is
debootstrapping the right way?) and for a movie player
like ''mplayer'' what necessary libraries should I put into my
DomU file system. I guess X support needs to be put into the DomU.
But how do I do that? Earlier I had tried mounting the jailtime image and
installing X into it . But did not work out for me.

Has any one done some thing related to this before. Please let me know.

Thanks in advance.
Dushmanta
