I currently use ipFire under Xen, but this sounds like a whole lot of
work just for one or two Xen machines. I'm assuming it can simply be
installed by booting an HVM from the ISO? If not (if there would be
security holes by doing it), I can simply change to a stand alone.

Thank you very much for all the hard work.
