able to correctly set-up this kind of things, and can give me some
advices.

domU (debian) and 2 windows OS.

.28 was a bit optimistic; .29 seems reasonable. The current dom0 kernel
patches can boot up to a fully functional dom0 usersmode, and you can
start xend to see that domain 0 is running. I *think* in theory you can
create a deviceless domain, but I haven't tried it. I'm currently
working on blktap support.
I really need to put together a proper status update. Now that dom0
usermode is working, its a much better base for other people start
contributing.

libvirt-0.4.6 for Fedora 8 ?
by Daniel Veillard
has been available for a few weeks:
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/F8/FEDORA-2008-8447
on one hand F-8 is near its End Of Life and F8 has been used by
people who needed Xen support. On the other hand libvirt in F-8
is a bit ancient.
I'm unclear if people really want the update before the EOL,
there is a report that this worked fine for Xen users but there is
always a risk of pushing an update like this so late in the cycle.
Opinion welcome, by default I don't plan to push the update to stable
but if people want this, either grab it from testing of just ask here,
I don't have any strong opinion, just keeping the status-quo by default.
Daniel
