I would request for a step by step procedure for building a slackware 13 guest OS in xenserver 5.6

I don't know about xenserver, but for plain xen check out http://slackbuilds.slackverse.org/_new/xen/

The dom0 directory may help you. Note that you will need the pkgtools.

By "Xenification", I understand to boot Slack from a Xen kernel (as a host, or as "Dom0" - in Xen terminology). Then you are also looking for a Slackware image (to boot as a Guest, or "DomU" - in Xen terminology).

Mario's webpage has it all. Check it out: http://slackbuilds.slackverse.org/_new/xen/

Read the documentation and if you have specific questions, post them here.

You will need a Slackware DVD. I would prefer the 64 bit for Xen, but it should work for both.
