Just asked the same question and then found this thread. %)Thanks for answer. Could you be so kind to provide more details:

Netvm is autostarted by other qubes it is assigned to. Is it possible to have something like "ask user" ? Some times it's not good to have networking, but at the same time I'd like to start other VMs that have this VM as net VM. > If you do make sure that you aren't starting any > other qubes that rely on sys-net. (That would include your clockVM.) Could you point to a paper in dox that we should review to get a deeper understanding of VM chains? I mean that some times I would like to override default start procedure - how can I get this? Is there any alternative to get into single mode and play with VM prefs? Why the auto-start preference ingored by boot sequence - because OS needs a clock VM? -- Bye.Olli. gpg --search-keys grey_olli , use key w/ fingerprint below: Key fingerprint = 9901 6808 768C 8B89 544C 9BE0 49F9 5A46 2B98 147E Blog keys (the blog is mostly in Russian): http://grey-olli.livejournal.com/tag/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
