I can't generally see the value of 'installing' if all that means is just copying. I'm doing this with basically all other components I use non-distro versions of, without problems. Xen is the first one to cause me real headaches here. Also, the 'few hardcoded paths' seem to be scattered all around the various tools, so it doesn't look like a rather simple job to (a) spot them all and (b) fix them. Jan
