Yes: I thought that I might not be able to install F18 test environment in time,

The Live CD that you published today sounds to be an easy way to test Xen.

F17, virt-manager, with no special selections, network HTTP install.
GDM doesn't work, no login page to enter username and password.

I'll consentrate on F18 too.
