From the command line, you can enter vm-install to run a text version of the Create
Virtual Machine Wizard. The text version of the wizard is helpful in environments
without a graphical user interface. This command defaults to using a graphical user
interface if available and if no options were given on the command line.

When you use Virtual Machine Manager or the xm command to delete a virtual machine,
it no longer appears as a virtual machine, but its initial startup file and virtual disks are
not automatically deleted.
To delete all components of a virtual machine configured with a file-backed virtual
disk, you must manually delete its virtual disk image file (/var/lib/xen/images/)
and its initial startup file (/etc/xen/vm).
