Virtualisation on F7

[John Lagrue]

I have read the docs. They however don't seem to say a lot and only
really talk about installing a F7 guest. I have no need of an F7 guest
- I'm running it already, so don't need a second copy. But I do want a
Windows guest, but the docs are of little use at all.

I joined the feora-xen list but it's pretty inactive, and my questions
get few anwers, if any.

My question is pretty simple. How do I install a windows. centos or
ubuntu guest using my local CD and allowing it to access the net?
