The xen kernel is picked as default if you choose virtualization at 
install time. Removing the xen kernel should not hurt anything but the 
ability to use xen for virtual xen installs.

prelink will run heavy on newly installed systems but will then run with 
less to do on later runs. It optimizes how fast your programs start by 
optimizing libraries. You should just let it run.
