Hi Mark!

Thanks for the info.

So do I understand correctly that if I ignore the new milestone I can
still use the old menu.lst-based behavior?  I like the existing setup
much better.  Now, I can decide if I want the hypervisor within my custom
timeout _when booting_.

Using the milestone, I would have to decide about the next boot _while
shutting down_.  Usually I boot my test systems for whatever I want
to test _now_.

Is this maybe a solution looking for a problem?  Of course if the
old behavior is still available I don't really mind...


Thanks -- Volker
