Is there ways of installing guests other than: Install outside Xen like John did Use "yum --installroot=/mnt -y groupinstall Base" Use the xenguest-install.py

By exercising much cunning, I have SLES10, SUSE 10.1, EL5 Client and EL5 Server all on the ond disk, each boots natively. The client boots, but my network goes down. I've tried, with the same result, on SLES10 with a guest SUSE10.1, and SUSE10.1 with a SLES10 guest. One has the network going down, the other has a problem I now know how to resolve. > But I can't run xenguest-install.py.
