  It's not Xen which requires this. It's the fact that you run a full
fedora system. Actually 256 is in my tests a bit low for running the
installer/anaconda (it slows down installation), but once the domain
image is set-up if you don't have much services running on the guest
it's possible to lower the domain memory use (edit the config file
in /etc/xen for this, sutdown the domain, balloon the memory used by
Dom0 if needed and restart the domain, that's the simplest).
