Hi, Rob:

	the configuration file is in /etc/libvirt/qemu/*.xml  in debian lenny
	I don''t know where is the centos''s config, maybe you can try
to find it

	I have to check xml file to write my own xen domU cfg (standard config)

	after you write your own config, use
	xm new to define the vm
	ex.
	# xm new /etc/xen/centos.cfg

	and then use xm start to start vm
	ex.
	# xm start centos

	stop vm
	# xm shutdown centos

	remove vm from "xm list"
	# xm delete centos

	with this way, you can use xm or virt-manager to operate your vm at the same
time
