Although after trying it once it occurred to me to wonder why I'd want to run an identical copy of my laptop on my laptop... :P If Xen doesn't have a cloning tool, perhaps you can use the VMware cloning tool and tweak the clone to run under Xen? After all, VMware can use Qemu disks and Virtual PC can use VMware disks, so it might work. HtH, Adam J Richardson
