Requirements

To use these tools you'll need the following software:
* debootstrap
* Perl
* The Perl module "Text::Template" available from CPAN.
Optionally you'll need "debootstrap" and "rpmstrap" to take advantage
of the most common installation methods - although you could get by without
them if you were prepared to work at it.
In order to install RPM-based distributions such as CentOS, SuSE
or Fedora Core you will need a correctly installed and configured
"rpmstrap" package.
To install Ubuntu distributions upon a Debian host system you will
need either:
* The Ubuntu version of debootstrap installed.
* A patched debootstrap package from:

users via a login shell you should also install the xen-shell package
