Pavel,
Thanks for your comments. I'll work through the examples and post an
updated patch soon.
As for the Configuring VM operation - can we at least have a couple of
examples in the form of scenarios or something? The wiki page only gives
a reference, an enumeration of available options. Using these might not
always be transparent. I know it's tutorial-level info, but why not have
it? Giving a show-case of customizing vm to a specific need would be
great.
Thank you,
Nadya Morozova
