Apache -- It's optional.  You can skip the bit with grabbing, mounting and 
serving (via apache) the ubuntu iso image.

You'd just point to a real ubuntu mirror site during the ubuntu installation.  
Which is the default behavior anyway.


Netcat -- The purpose here is to get the xen-ified ubuntu kernel and initrd.gz 
off the ubuntu VM, and onto the Dom0.  There are probably other ways to do this:

- download the debian packages to the Dom0; rip the files right out of the 
ARchives
- use some other transfer mechanism -- this is complicated by the state of the 
ubuntu system during install.  Probably worked around with LD_LIBRARY_PATH
- re-use the xensource kernel for the first boot
- mount the ubuntu fs on your Dom0 machine (probably easy if your Dom0 is 
CentOS)
