The article "Installing Xen On CentOS 5.0 (i386)" by Falko Timme silently presume that you have at least ADSL Internet connection 700 Kb/sec due to following instruction for virt-install command line utility..
You might need to install from the Net to your hard drive up to 4 GB of data.
Once you don’t have fast enough internet connection extracting data to your system might take very long time.
However, there is pretty simple way to create CentOS 5 PVM managed by Xen 3.0.3 coming with original distribution DVD. Of course it won’t be perfect, because it’s a bit outdated. Once again, if you'll use in the same way RHEL 5.1 (Beta 2)
RHEL 5.1 PVM will be driven by the most recent Xen version coming along with RHEL 5.1 and everything will become up to date immediately.
Mount loop ISO image to /mnt/tmp , then make /mnt/tmp an NFS share at Dom0
and proceed with virt-manager GUI interface,
pointing URL to -> nfs:Dom0-IP-ADDRESS:/mnt/tmp
Works also for F7 (x86_64) ISO image.
Virt-install does the same things, only starts from terminal window.
