DESCRIPTION

	 This tool will ease the resizing of Xen guests, whether they are based
	upon loopback files or LVM partitions.

	 Whilst the process of resizing a guest is pretty simple it can be fiddly
	to do the steps correctly in the right order:

       1.  Shutdown the guest.	2.  Unmount the volume, if it is mounted.  3.  Add to the space.  4.  Check the filesystem.  5.  Resize the
       filesystem.  6.	Restart the guest.

	 More than once I've heard of users making mistakes and breaking their
	filesystems; hence this tool.

	 The methods available are:

       debootstrap Install the distribution specified by the --dist argument using the debootstrap.  If you use this option you must specify a
