[Fedora-xen] xenguest-install.py issues

[Ashe Canvar]

Hmm...the FC5 install document did not include instructions to install
xenU. The FC4 one did.

Anyway I installed the xenU package and it worked. Further problems though:

The guest installs I did *before* installing still refuse to start.
The ones I did after start fine.

I deleted the disk image for the old ones and deleted the config files
in /etc/xen. Still I get the same error message when I create a new VM
with that name.

Where does Xen store info about the previously installed VMs ?

Thanks,
-ashe
