It works fine. I've not run the Ubuntu/Debian installer inside a paravirtualised
Linux VM but I'm running ~10 ubuntu/debian installs inside a pair of FC5 Dom0's.
About all one needs to remember is to put 'xennet' in /etc/modules inside the
domU install and copy the modules directory in. Oh, and remember to install
module-init-tools in case it isn't already done.
