It's not true. For paravirtualized guests, you can use virt-install to 
install any guests which follow the packaging method followed by RHEL 
for its distribution. By this I mean, there should be a xenified kernel 
and initrd image for the virt-install to kick off the booting at 
xen/images in the installation tree. So any versions of RHEL (4.5 and 
above), Centos (4.5 and above), Fedora (fc5 and above) should work fine 
without any problems.
For fully virtualized guests, I have so far been successful to install 
debian, ubuntu and windows, so far tested, using virt-install/virt-manager.
