Thanks for your reply,
xen-create-image --dist=lucid --hostname=lucid --size=4Gb --swap=256Mb
--ip=192.168.0.103 --memory=512mb --arch=amd64 --role=udev
Believe the only thing I changed in the conf file is the image
location and network info -
##
# /etc/xen-tools/xen-tools.conf
##
#
# This is the global configuration file for the scripts included
# within the xen-tools package.
#
# For more details please see:
#
# http://xen-tools.org/
#
##
##
#
# File Format
# -----------
#
# Anything following a '#' character is ignored as a comment.
#
# Otherwise the format of this file "key = value". The value of
# any keys in this file may be constructed via the output of a command.
#
# For example:
#
# kernel = /boot/vmlinuz-`uname -r`
#
##
#
##
# Output directory for storing loopback images.
#
# If you choose to use loopback images, which are simple to manage but
# slower than LVM partitions, then specify a directory here and uncomment
# the line.
#
# New instances will be stored in subdirectories named after their
# hostnames.
#
##
# dir = /home/xen
dir = /disk/xen
#
#
##
#
# If you don't wish to use loopback images then you may specify an
# LVM volume group here instead
#
##
# lvm = vg0
#
##
#
# Installation method.
#
# There are four distinct methods which you may to install a new copy
# of Linux to use in your Xen guest domain:
#
# - Installation via the debootstrap command.
# - Installation via the rpmstrap command.
# - Installation via the rinse command.
# - Installation by copying a directory containing a previous installation.
# - Installation by untarring a previously archived image.
#
# NOTE That if you use the "untar", or "copy" options you should ensure
# that the image you're left with matches the 'dist' setting later in
# this file.
#
#
##
#
#
# install-method = [ debootstrap | rinse | rpmstrap | copy | tar ]
#
#
install-method = debootstrap
#
# If you're using the "copy", or "tar" installation methods you must
# need to specify the source location to copy from, or the source
# .tar file to unpack.
#
# You may specify that with a line such as:
#
# install-source = /path/to/copy
# install-source = /some/path/img.tar
#
#
#
##
# Command definitions.
##
#
# The "rinse", and "rpmstrap" commands are hardwired into
# the script, but if you wish to modify the commands which are executed
# when installing new systems by a "copy", "debootstrap", or "tar" method
# you can do so here:
#
# (This allows you to install from a .tar.bz file, rather than a plain
# tar file, use cdebootstrap, etc.)
#
# install-method = copy:
# copy-cmd = /bin/cp -a $src/* $dest
#
# install-method = debootstrap:
# debootstrap-cmd = /usr/sbin/debootstrap
#
# install-method = tar:
# tar-cmd = /bin/tar --numeric-owner -xvf $src
#

# Disk and Sizing options.
##

image = sparse # Specify sparse vs. full disk images.
#
# Currently supported and tested distributions include:
#
# via Debootstrap:
