[Fedora-xen] xenguest-install problem with 08/28 build

[Ricardo Ariel Gorosito]

dom0 is limited to 200MB and I tried to install a fedora-development 
from mirrors with 256MB (domU). Computer has 512MB.

# xm list
Name                              ID Mem(MiB) VCPUs State  Time(s)
Domain-0                           0      200     1 r-----  1624.6
# xm info |grep memor
total_memory           : 511
free_memory            : 294

With todays version (kernel-xen-2.6.17-1.2600.fc6) I can install fc6dev 
correctly. Note that you need to specify --vnc or --nographics to 
xenguest-install (if not, xenguest-install will ask you forever if you 
like vnc or not)
