@Peter,
Would you mind sharing the process?
(on the CentOS or Xen wikis OR share a link to a write-up online?)

This piques my curiosity and I'd like to know more. ;-)
Thanks!

Indeed it does!

If you're up for it, Xen wiki will be glad to host it! :-P

We've got both CentOS and Fedora categories on the Wiki, both hosting
various pages, guides, instructions, etc., but none of them (I think)
goes through the procedure you mentioned:

http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Category:CentOS
http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Category:Fedora

Feel free to add it! :-)

+1 :-D
 

Regards,
Dario
