I did not get past this yet. I ended up doing a manual yum install with
yum:
yum -c yum-xen.conf --installroot=/mnt -y groupinstall Base
Though perhaps next time I'll use a qemu install using the ISO DVD.

Hi Paul,
That's a good idea. I'm only somewhat familiar with this method - I
understand that you are mounting the Guest filesystem to /mnt then using yum
to install packages onto it. Do you have a good 'howto' you can recommend
that describes this procedure. Also, could you cat your yum-xen.conf file
for me? I'm not sure what you mean by a 'qemu install' - can you elaborate
on that?
Thanks,
Ian.
