After reading the latest Linux Journal Xen article. I thouth that I can have multiple installations of FC on the same machine, right? I could even install Mandrake or SUSE right ? Windows can wait...

I did some googling, checked the Quick Start guides on fedora wiki and still don't know how to install a different FC version on FC5 host. I tried to use ready images from jailtime.org, no sucess either.

I have a sinking suspicion that guest kernel "U" has to be the same version as the "O" kernel on the host. If this is true then, how do you manage to install FC4 kernel modules under a guest that runs guest FC5 kernel ?. Are you aware of a howto (or a blog) that dexplains this process ? Even better - how to install other xen anabled linux os under FC5 ?

Any help is appreciated.
