You seem to be confusing a lot of stuff. Since you're familiar enough
with Fedora, and want to boot with USB, I suggest you start with
installing RHEL/Centos5 to a USB disk, choose Virtualization during
installation, and possibly gnome desktop if you want to manage the
server directly from server. After installation completes, you should
be able to run virt-manager, which is a simple GUI frontend to manage
Xen.

Note that you need a large-enough room for the OS, so you should start
with using USB disk. Small (i.e. 1G) USB keys won't do.
