Turnkey Linux distributes Linux virtual machines in a Xen compatible format. I have a XenServer instance running and I would like to run a recently downloaded Turnkey Linux virtual machine on it. But I have never used XenServer before.

Can you point me a tutorial specific for this case, since the manual doens't seem to cover it very well?
