Thanks for the report.

Well, xen-resize-guest shouldn't need to read any sources.list anyway.
It though parses /etc/xen-tools/xen-tools.conf and that may contain
"`xt-guess-suite-and-mirror --suite`" which is executed to get a
parsable xen-tools.conf.

Have to think about how to make that work better.

Edit /etc/xen-tools/xen-tools.conf and edit the line starting with
"dist =" (or similar). Replace "`xt-guess-suite-and-mirror --suite`"
with your preferred distribution.

xt-guess-suite-and-mirror indeed just supports Debian and Ubuntu so
far as I don't have a CentOS or Fedora based Dom0 to test.

Patches to support RPM-based distributions as Dom0 in
xt-guess-suite-and-mirror are very welcome.

		Kind regards, Axel
