Here's the link to the step-by-steps I referred to:
http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Xen_Beginners_Guide
I did note one thing with these instructions: They're intended for a 64-bit
CPU with hardware virtualization capabilities, which might cause problems since
your test system is Athlon XP based. I don't know. I've never tried
installing Xen on a system that old either when it was newish or recently.
Although, I did using qemu and kqemu, which worked quite well.
