  Right.

  Right.

  It should happen automatically.  If you look at this file:

    /usr/lib/xen-tools/etch.d/20-setup-apt

  It will install libc6-xen if required automatically.

  Are you saying this fails?  (NOTE:  You *don't* need libc6-xen
 installed if your dom0/domU are 64-bit.)

  It is never *necessary*, however for 32-bit systems it will give
 you a performance increase.

  Simpler solution would be to find out why the script is failing
 and then fix it.
