No, I'm afraid not as the space on CD images is quite tight and including additional kernels would either lead to an undesired size increase of the image (in the case of netinst) or push off other, more important, packages. If you have a good internet connection or a local mirror I would suggest using a businesscard CD image for the installation. In expert mode that will allow you to select a xen kernel. Cheers, FJP
