+xen-tools v0.x
+--------------
+
+  This archive contains a collection of Perl scripts for working with
+ Xen images under Debian GNU/Linux.
+
+  It is primarily aimed at people who wish to create instances of
+ Debian Sarge, however 'Etch', and 'Sid' are also available.
+
+  The tools all work in a similar way and each ahve the same assumptions.
+
+  It is assumed that each virtual image will be comprised of two files
+ upon the host system:  One for the primary drive, and one for the swap.
+ The images are all assumed to live beneath the same root directory -
+ this directory is an argument to all the scripts and may be set with
+ '--dir=/path/to/root'.
+
+  (Alternatively the directory may be included in the global configuration
+ file.)
+
+  The scripts are now described individually:
