[BLUG] Properly removing a Xen guest

[Mark Krenz]

  Well that depends a little on how it was setup as far as the disks go,
but the config files for the virtual machines are in /etc/xen.  There
should just be one for each domU.  If you look in the config file, it
will have a list of disks that the domU uses and you can remove those
devices or files that it references.

  On Suso, I have Xen setup to use disk image files because I find it
more convient and in testing haven't noticed any slowdown.  I think a lot
of people use volume groups or devices on the host OS.
