Thank you Mark.

This is good news...  I have to chuckle to my self because all this time
I have been trying to figure out why the domu was running with 'b'
instead of an 'r'.  It does make sense now with each domu running in the
'b state'. 

Yes, I have noticed the time going up from about 4.4 when started to
right now running at 53.5.  I have been able to use xm console from the
first time but....  when using an editor I have noticed the the screen
reducing in size (guessing to 80 col width) as a small footprint in the
upper left hand corner.  Other than that I have been able to log
remotely from other systems on the network along with the xm console. 

With everything running well I can now start adding the extra services
and reconfigure them for the new xen node.

Thank  you...
