[CentOS] virt-manager crashes Host during installation of guest

[Mathew S. McCarrell]

I definitely think if your new to Xen and are use to doing normal CD
installs, then virt-install is the easiest way to go.

Also, you could consider using prebuilt images that are already made
depending on your needs.  These can be found on stacklet.com.

Hope that helps,
Matt
