NOTES

         This script is invoked by xen-create-image after to create a new
        distribution of Linux.  Once the script has been created the companion
        script xt-customize-image will be invoked to perform the network
        configuration, etc.

INSTALLATION METHODS

         There are several available methods of installation, depending upon the
        users choice.  Only one option may be chosen at any given time.

         The methods available are:

       debootstrap Install the distribution specified by the --dist argument using the
       debootstrap.  If you use this option you must specify a mirror with --mirror.
       copy Copy the given directory recursively.  This local directory is assumed to contain a
       complete installation.  Specify the directory to copy with the --install-source argument.
       rinse Install the distribution specified by --dist using the rinse command.
       rpmstrap Install the distribution specified by --dist using the rpmstrap command.
       tar Untar a .tar file into the new installation location.  This tarfile is assumed to
       contain a complete archived system.   Specify the directory to copy with the
       --install-source argument.
