Yeah, that's kinda what I was thinking :( Unfortunately, I want
all these separate domUs, and the boxes i want to use for Xen
only really support 1/2GiB of RAM. (P3 Katmai and Coppermines
with i443something and i81x chipset. The newer boxes I
want for workstations. )
Oh well, I can live with this I guess.
