You can do a complete build of Xen, the control tools, and the
XenLinux kernel images with "make world". This can take 10 minutes
even on a fast machine. If you're on an SMP machine you may wish to
give the '-j4' argument to make to get a parallel build. You should
end up with all the binaries and images being placed in the ./install
directory tree. You can then install everything to the standard
system directories (e.g. /boot, /usr/bin, /usr/lib/python/ etc) by
taping "make install".

The difference between the two Linux kernels that are built is
due to the configuration file used for each. The "U" suffixed
unprivileged version doesn't contain any of the physical hardware
device drivers, so is 30% smaller and hence may be preferred for
your non-privileged domains.
The install/boot directory will also contain the config files
used for building the XenLinux kernels, and also versions of Xen
and XenLinux kernels that contain debug symbols (xen-syms and
vmlinux-syms-2.4.26-xen0) which are essential for interpreting crash
dumps.
Inspect the Makefile if you want to see what goes on during a
build. Building Xen and the tools is straightforward, but XenLinux is
more complicated. The makefile needs a 'pristine' linux kernel tree
which it will then add the Xen architecture files to. You can tell the
