I am in the process of creating documentation for a Xen virtual IPFire install. If anyone else is doing it also, please let me know so we can collaborate. I'm hopeful to have it complete Friday 20 Feb.
I am trying an install using the scon image. Assuming that works, should I also write documentation on how to do it from a standard "installer" installation?
Again, if anyone else is doing this, please let me know so we do not duplicate efforts.

I am not writing docs on doing so* but I have been running Ipfire in a VM under KVM on Scientific Linux 6.x for a couple of years now. I think setting up Ipfire was easier than getting the KVM set up right.
The VM host box has 2 onboard NICs, but I'm using a dual-NIC card in the box which is dedicated to the Ipfire VM. The tricky part was figuring out how to give Ipfire exclusive access to the WAN NIC without it being accessible to the KVM host and the other VM guests.
* Although I should do it at least for myself - had to redo my installation a while back after moving and had left no notes for myself. Which of course resulted in re-inventing my own wheel! ;)
