Hi Daniel and the release team, First, thanks Daniel, for taking care of this. I do appreciate such contributions. I agree the README is not perfect, though I don't agree it is such a disaster. The network configuration which I described in it does work, contrary to what Daniel says. Others also reported using this howto successfully. What's annoying though, is that to do it, you have to reboot under a broken networking setup for a while, to be able to do such a configuration, which is very annoying if you don't have a KVM over IP in your server. I have applied all of your git patches. Thanks for them. However, I cannot apply the part that changes paragraph 4.2, as it did work for me, and that I would not recommend removing all trace of the network interface (you would loose network if you reboot without XCP). I by the way believe that your paragraph "IMPORTANT BUG" is important to add. Mike told me Citrix guys would come back to me with a fix for #695221 (though it's been weeks I didn't hear about him yet).
