Yes YaST will make multiple xen installations for you, it can unfortunately 
install them from network package sources rather than cd/dvd/hard disk due to 
how the virtual network devices are set up, although you can overcome this 
with a bit of poking. SUSE 10* includes Xen 3  *(released on wednesday, isos 
are downloadable ftp://anorien.warwick.ac.uk/suse/i386/10.0/iso) 

> > 6. Wiki beginners reference

we have a docuwiki set up here, http://www.uwlug.org.uk which I quite like, 
it's very simple, no database is required. It just uses text files (which are 
human readable) and directories, it also has great syntax highlighting and 
document structure.

A project we have just finished is producing a modified version of knoppix for 
giving to all first year computer scientists. IBM were good enough to make us 
300 copies of this. We presented one to Klaus Knopper at linuxworld this 
week.
