  Put this into a file  for eg. Indiana.py :

  name = "Indiana"
  vcpus = 1
  memory = "800"

  kernel = '/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader'
  builder = 'hvm'
  vif = [ 'type=ioemu' ]

  disk = ['file:/media/sdb4/in-preview.iso,hda:cdrom,r']

  sdl=0
  vnc=1
  vncconsole=1
  boot='d'

  on_shutdown = "destroy"
  on_reboot = "restart"
  on_crash = "destroy"

  device_model = '/usr/lib/xen/bin/qemu-dm'

  Now execute:

  xm create Indiana.py

Moinak.
