Installing Maverick on XenServer?

[Pandu Poluan]

Okay, to answer my own question, I think I found a way:

http://community.citrix.com/display/xs/Configuring+CentOS+5.5+Guests+on+XenServer+5.5+and+5.6

Yes, the above are instructions for CentOS, but it should be
applicable for Ubuntu Maverick also; the script given is customizable
enough, and clear instructions on changing the repo address is also
given.

I'll experiment on an unused XenServer host tomorrow, and report back here.

(And that begs a question: Just in case I am successful, may I create
an Ubuntu Wiki article explaining the how's?)

Rgds,
