Yeah, that's kinda what I was thinking :(  Unfortunately, I want
all these separate domUs, and the boxes i want to use for Xen
only really support 1/2GiB of RAM.  (P3 Katmai and Coppermines
with i443something and i81x chipset.  The newer boxes I
want for workstations. )

Oh well, I can live with this I guess.
