That's now implemented so if anyone wants to give that a try,
please:

1. Log in to your Xen Shell.

2. Make sure it's running version v1.48bitfolk73. If it's not, exit
out of every window then SSH back in and it will be.

3. Shut your VM down if it isn't already.

4. "install ubuntu_jammy".

After asking for your host name and password for the "ubuntu" user
it will overwrite your disk, as described above. If you have SSH
public keys added in the Panel then these will also be added.

A later improvement will be to allow you to specify your own
cloud-init data.

(This is for new installs only; an upgrade from 20.04 can be done as
usual with do-release-upgrade. It's Ubuntu's usual practice to not
offer this until the first point release so if you want to do it
you'll have to force it toupgrade to what is still considered a
development release, i.e. "sudo do-release-upgrade -d")

As usual if you are wanting a new VM to do either an install or
upgrade with, we can offer one for free for up to two weeks:
